If you are a small business owner, then among the key concerns amidst the pandemic will be the health and wellness of your employees. Do they have the financial wherewithal to deal with the repercussions of a medical emergency? Will they need to dent their savings to pay exorbitant hospital bills? The solution to this is offering them group health insurance. Group health insurance is a type of health insurance plan that covers group of people working in the same organization. It is offered as a benefit to the employees and in most cases, premium is borne by the employer. It is also called corporate health insurance or employee health insurance. The scope of a group health insurance plan is not only limited to the employee but also his/her spouse, parents, children etc. It also covers pre and post-hospitalization, hospitalization, day care procedures, domiciliary hospitalization etc. One can add other benefits too such as maternity coverage, accidental cover to the base policy. Another advantage of group health insurance is that it is affordable than a family individual health insurance plan.

Providing Enterprises with Best Group Insurance Services and Solutions

Sentro Security: Sentro is a cloud-first platform hosted on Microsoft Azure and built specifically to enable modern insurance administration. Administrators and insured Members can access Sentro through modern web and mobile browsers with an internet connection. It can be accessed from anywhere in the world 24/7, or restricted to certain networks where required. Sentro supports 0Auth2.0 single sign-on for Microsoft and Google, so insurers, brokers, employers and members can use their company or personal logins. As a cloud-based service, they always aim to use the latest software and infrastructure and implement the most up to date security controls on your behalf. This means that you don’t need to worry about updating or patching systems. The firm has leveraged Microsoft’s services to fully protect their platform and the data contained within it. Their entire infrastructure stack is deployed and run on PaaS/serverless products within Azure, which dramatically minimises the attack footprint that they are responsible for. This means that the code is deployed securely to Azure environments that are managed and constantly monitored for vulnerabilities and intrusions by Microsoft Azure.

Sentro Integration: Every customer has existing systems and business processes. Sentro lets you choose the functionality you need, and build integrations to your other systems. Connect your other business applications to Sentro. Through a rich set of APIs, developers can tightly integrate their applications with the Sentro platform. Their platform enables third-party services to be added, and surfaced to customers through web applications and smartphone apps. Transferring data via email and spreadsheets is insecure and painful. Sentro replaces spreadsheets with easy to access Member data tables.  Request census data from employers, (or allow your brokers to), request Member updates and sign-off renewals lists without all the hassle. Their flexible roles & permissions options make it easy for you to give brokers, employers and third-party administrator's access to only what you want them to see. Google and Microsoft single sign-on means lost passwords and poor security practices are a thing of the past.

Run your entire group insurance offering in Sentro or integrate with your existing tools and workflows. The technology behind Sentro combines a full-featured group insurance policy administration with useful portals interfaces and applications for brokers and customers.
