Our Team and Partners
Founder
Our Founder, Ann Heckathorne, is a bit passionate about her job! Also, she is a bit addicted to spreadsheets! She likes working with businesses from 1 to 40 employees the most, because she can watch the business grow and thrive. Then, if she can show a small business how to have employee benefits like a big business, she is on a roll. She has a Journalism background and you might see that in her goal to simplify insurance jargon. Married to an Accountant, with 4 healthy, smart and sometimes rambunctious teenagers, she enjoys living in the San Diego area. Her favorite hobby is genealogy. Or digital restoration of worn photos. Or spreadsheets. Don't get her started on spreadsheets.
Dedicated Case Managers
Every case gets a dedicated Case Manager and Customer Care and Benefits Specialist, to answer your questions, and to be there to resolve problems. Each one comes with many years of experience in group health insurance, and other employee benefits.
Automation, Payroll Integration Specialists
Technology has changed our world. Payroll companies will integrate and sync with enrollment platforms to make your administrative tasks easier. Enrollment is streamlined, employees have a better experience, and information is in one place. We have an available team who builds and maintains those platforms, at no cost to you.
Individual/Family and Medicare Specialists
For those who turn 65, needing Medicare, or those who need their own Individual or Family coverage outside of their employer, there are referral agents ready to assist. With decades of experience, focused on Medicare and Individual/Family plans, they can give you the specific guidance that you need, and they have all the certifications to do so.
HR Solutions, Compliance Referrals
Partnering with us are many companies who focus on HR solutions. When we see the need, we will inform you about how to do it yourself, or use Compliance and HR firms to help you. This is for issues such as COBRA, ACA, HRA, FSA, IRS/DOL compliance, etc. We do not make money on these solutions, but we assist, so that your whole Employee Benefits experience goes well and is in the hands of experts.
General Agent
We use a large national General Agency as our backup team. They have over 700 employees, all skilled in various aspects of insurance. After decades in this business, we selected them because of their history of excellence, detailed information and support in the business, and the way that their employees focus on getting the job done, and making sure it is correct.
