BenefitMall, the leading provider of next-generation broker services, today announced the launch of a new integrated COBRA solution powered by WEX. Through this partnership with WEX, BenefitMall's broker partners will have access to best-in-class services and a COBRA and Direct Billing Administrative portal that streamlines the process.
"As we look to bring on new partnerships and integrated solutions, we are constantly looking for those that will help our broker partners stand out from the competition," said Tiffany Stiller, Vice President of Carrier Relations for BenefitMall. "With this WEX partnership, we can now provide scalable technology, advanced integration, and best-in-class services that help reduce administrative costs and increase profit margins for our brokers."
BenefitMall COBRA powered by WEX enables brokers to grow more efficiently with a fully automated process that will track mailing and notices automatically.

"We are proud to partner with BenefitMall to provide a new solution that helps brokers to efficiently offer this critical service to their clients and yet gives them peace of mind knowing all compliance and administrative checkboxes will be automatically completed."
