American Benefits Group Recognized as 2020 Company of the Year, Named Top 10 US Benefits Administrator

NORTHAMPTON, Mass., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --American Benefits Group (ABG), an integrated benefits solutions administrator, has been named a top 10 US benefits administrator and company of the year by Manage HR Magazine. The award recognizes innovative benefits administration consulting and services impacting the industry. ABG introduced a range of innovative solutions in the past year to earn this recognition.

ABG's innovative offerings include a live streaming participant review portal that provides a constant stream of feedback on service delivery. With more than 7,000 five-star reviews to date, the portal delivers invaluable insight for ABG management, as well as constructive guidance and motivation for the customer advocacy and participant support teams who manage telephone and email support services. The Institute for Health Care Consumerism previously gave its innovation award to ABG for this portal.

In 2020, ABG introduced several innovative technology and service solutions focused on supporting both clients and employees. ABG released a groundbreaking AI-powered participant mobile application called Smart Account that delivers actionable insights and recommendations on health savings account spending and savings. Smart Account also offers transparency and consumer focused tools to guide decisions on both provider cost and quality. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, ABG created a special purpose disaster relief account under IRC section 139, which allowed employers to direct tax-free funds to reimburse employees for a range of out-of-pocket expenses incurred because of the pandemic.

"This recognition is the equivalent of a lifetime achievement award for our team and we're honored to be recognized by our clients and colleagues for our industry innovation and operational excellence," said Robert Cummings, founder and CEO of ABG. "From our founding as a pioneer of consumer directed account based plans more than 30 years ago, we've always maintained a passionate focus on empowering people with the freedom to succeed in their health care journey. As healthcare costs continue to rise and coverage options become more complex, ABG supports and guides individuals in making smart and strategic spending and savings decisions. We have always been 100% client-centered, employee-focused and participant driven. I credit the dedication and talents of the ABG management team with fostering a culture and environment that rewards individual and group contributions. I'm extremely proud of and thankful for our amazing team, whose talent and dedication make this possible."
