ERISAPros Joins Vertafore’s Orange Partner Program Collaboration to Streamline Data Integration and Reduce Compliance Risk for Brokers


We envision our Agency Partners improving their efficiency in regulatory-related account management practices with the BenefitPoint integration inside “Wrap-Tight(sm),” said Michelle Lewis, BenefitPoint Product Manager.

ErisaPros, LLC announces its membership in Vertafore’s Orange Partner Program, which will allow ERISAPros to retrieve client data from Vertafore’s benefits management system, BenefitPoint®, and utilize it to prepare Wrap Plan Documents using its proprietary document builder, Wrap-Tight(sm). Vertafore is the leader in integrated software for independent agents, MGAs, carriers, and states and regulators.

The Orange Partner Program provides open access and integration opportunities with Vertafore application programming interfaces (APIs) for customers and partners. The program also extends to third-party technology providers, such as ERISAPros, which is joining the program to streamline solutions for agencies and brokers.

The ability to transfer client data directly from BenefitPoint® to Wrap-Tight(sm) will alleviate multiple data entry efforts, saving time, and improving accuracy. Using the same preparer for the Wrap Plan as for the Form 5500 reduces risk for the agency and broker that may arise when the description of benefits, plan name, plan number, and/or the plan sponsor reflected on the Form 5500 is inconsistent with the information provided in the Wrap Plan Document and SPD.

“We envision our Agency Partners improving their efficiency in regulatory-related account management practices with the BenefitPoint integration inside “Wrap-Tight(sm),” said Michelle Lewis, BenefitPoint Product Manager.

ERISAPros’ proprietary Wrap-Tight(sm) compliance and document system allows an employer to save time and money by integrating all of its benefit plans into one document rather than preparing a document for each separate plan. This approach permits an employer to file one Form 5500 and distribute a single SPD, Summary Annual Report (SAR), and Summary of Material Modifications (SMM). If amendments are required in response to benefit or regulatory changes, the employer only needs to make changes to one document, rather than for each separate component benefit plan.
