IDOC announced the launch of IDOC Benefits & Beyond, a marketplace-based solution designed to help independent optometrists find and provide quality benefits for their staff.
To roll out the marketplace, IDOC partnered with Alera Group, an independent national insurance firm with expertise in benefit offerings. By bundling options from the nation’s leading insurers, IDOC says Alera Group makes it easy for ODs to provide benefits to their staff, no matter the size of the practice.
“With the landscape of employee benefits becoming increasingly difficult to navigate, we saw an opportunity to help our members in their search for quality benefits for their staff,” said IDOC HR Consultant Amy Alvarez, SHRM-CP. “It’s tough to stand out to prospective employees in today’s competitive job market. IDOC Benefits & Beyond is designed to help our members attract and retain the best employees. We provide the support they need to source a comprehensive benefit package to offer their current and future team members.”
IDOC’s partnership with Alera Group is intended to offer optometrists a one-stop shop for a full suite of benefits including medical, dental, life and accident insurance as well as access to a dedicated Alera insurance consultant for guidance. The service connects members to major local and regional benefit carriers and provides ongoing support for new enrollments and terminations.
