BBG, Inc. was founded in 2003 with the mission to help smart employers achieve their employee benefit goals by pushing beyond conventional approaches. Since healthcare benefits consume the largest portion of total benefits costs, much of BBG’s focus has been on healthcare. In 2004, BBG developed the highly acclaimed SharedFunding program to help reduce healthcare costs to employers while maintaining the same level of benefit provided to employees. Today, a bevy of employers subscribe to BBG’s SharedFunding program and capitalize on BBG’s related employer-focused solutions, our strengths, and our areas of expertise. As BBG has grown, our core mission has endured – and been enhanced. While SharedFunding has consistently saved organizations 20% or more on their healthcare costs year after year, BBG continues to drive value into the proposition. Reducing costs is useful, but BBG has invested in the software and the people to deliver coherent solutions and excellent customer service to the employers we serve. Today, BBG’s experienced team serves employer groups from their offices in Cleveland and Tampa Bay. At the urging of many of our clients, our integrated and highly customizable employer-centric offerings have grown to include all facets of Employee Benefits (e.g. health, dental, vision, life insurance, disability, and more), In-house Brokerage and Comprehensive Insurance Services, Total Benefits Administration and Support Services, Medical Claims Adjudication and Reimbursement, Customized Pharmacy and Provider Programs, and Employee Advocacy.
