The Ansel team worked with a Texas-based employer to offer a new supplemental health plan to their employees.
The Challenge
A Texas-based mechanical contractor is committed to providing a robust benefits package to attract and retain top talent. While they already had a company funded health insurance plan in place, they saw an opportunity to enhance their offering with a supplemental benefit—providing additional support for employees facing unexpected health hardships and out-of-pocket costs. For this employer, it was crucial that any new benefit introduced would be something that employees would grasp quickly and actually use.
The Solution
Their broker learned about Ansel—supplemental health insurance that would cover over 13,000 illnesses and injuries across three condition categories, and the employer was immediately drawn to this wide-ranging coverage. With no accident or hospitalization requirements and no exclusions for pre-existing conditions, it was clear this was a practical and inclusive benefit that employees would utilize. Claims could be filed in minutes using the mobile app or web portal, and once approved, payments were typically issued within 72 hours—sent directly to PayPal, Venmo, or a bank account. Ultimately, the employer saw so much value in Ansel that they chose to fully fund the highest level of coverage for all employees, doubling the expected annualized premium.
Keys to the Win
“This employer is incredibly generous with their team, and they show it through the benefits they offer. They're thoughtful about what they introduce—it has to be something their employees will truly use and find valuable."
—Jolie Curneen, Regional Sales Director, Ansel
