What makes CBG a unique Benefit Broker ?
Custom Benefits Group ( CBG ) is one of the few truly remaining "Independent" Employee Benefits Brokerage Agencies in the marketplace. The Employee Benefits Brokerage market had been highly fragmented and an exceptionally competitive industry. As a result, growth has been fueled by a Massive M&A consolidation of these smaller fragmented Agencies by larger commercial firms. Once a part of these larger entities these formerly "Independent" firms become institutionalized. This institutional process inevitably leads to the dilution of services and attention as the acquired firms are focused primarily on growth, often at the expense of their existing book of business.
Unlike the larger Agencies, an "Independent" Agency like CBG answers to no one and retention and persistency are critical to our overall business plan. Unlike many of these larger commercial Agencies, we do NOT direct business to "Preferred Providers" nor do we have any incentive or preferred "Selling Agreements" with any specific providers. At CBG, we believe that a broker's allegiance should be to their client and the free-market, NOT to any internal or "preferred providers".
CBG also uses its own proprietary algorithm that helps us deliver the most competitive rates to our clients. This is particularly important during the renewal process because our algo. identifies pricing and plan design anomalies from the competition - this is critical as the incumbent Insurance Provider will NOT reduce the original renewal rates unless faced with competitive data. Few brokers take the time to ensure that the competition lines up exactly with the incumbent's plan design. Failure to perform this task may make the competition appear less competitive and the incumbent less inclined to reduce their renewal rates.
Custom Benefits Group ( CBG ) was founded in Boston, MA. 1998. Our clients are intelligent business owners and HR administrators that have embraced CBG's unique niche in the EB marketplace. We seek firms that truly understand our value and appreciate a unique partnership that recognizes a committed and unified relationship in our unified endeavor. The statistic that we are most proud of is our overall retention rate of existing clients ( 98.2% Persistency ). While CBG has been recognized by the Boston Business Journal " as the fastest growing Employee Benefits Brokerage Firms in New England"; growth is a meaningless statistic if it comes at the expense of retaining your existing book of business.
Custom Benefits Group ( CBG ) is a full-service EB Agency offering a comprehensive menu of FREE Administrative Services ( FSA Plans, COBRA Admin. etc. ) as well as one of the finest Compliance Departments in the business. We strive to be the one-stop shopping answer that our clients desire and to be their "Total Benefit Solution".
CBG's ability to provide our clients with free compliance consultancy is really what seperates us from other Agencies. Our staff includes a full-time ERISA attorney as well as a Certified Professional Compliance Officer ( CPCO ) and they have the exciting job of interpreting what many have already deemed "the most complex law of the modern age", or the Protection Affordable Care Act ( PPACA ) of 2015.
Recently both the Boston Business Journal as well as The EBJ ( Employee Benefits Journal ) recognized our growth with featured stories about our firm. CBG's overall retention rate of 93.6% is significantly higher than industry standards.
Referral business now accounts for most of our new business at CBG and I attribute much of our success our unique "ownership" model as well as our truly independent Agency model. Referral business speaks to the fact that our existing clientele feels so good about us that they go out of their way to refer us to their peers.
CBG will broker business for a wide range of employer groups: from small employer groups with as few as 10 lives, to publicly traded Fortune 500 corporations. Recently, CBG was recognized by the Boston Business Journal in their annual Top Twenty Employee Benefits Brokerage Firms: " as one of the fastest growing employee benefits brokerage firm in New England" ( March 20, 2020 )

CBG was selected by Angie’s List in 2020 as a Super Service Award recipient. This was an entirely new and unsolicited accolade for the Agency. When I read the parameters for which a firm is chosen, I am quite pleased that CBG scored high in an interesting category that pits the pre-sale personality versus the post-sale service performance. As healthcare is quickly becoming a Consumer-Direct business, you will need someone to advise and assist you now more than any other time in the history of healthcare.
