BenManage is a web platform for employers administering employee benefits. Its lifecycle coverage includes enrollment, payroll integration, premium remittance, carrier EDI, three-way auditing, employee communications, and ACA reporting. Employees can enroll through digital self-service, live call center support, or on-site enrollment. The FAQ lists payroll connections for ADP, Paylocity, Paychex, Paycor, UKG, Viventium, iSolved, and Proliant, and says a custom connection can be built for other providers. BenManage says it has more than 150 pre-built and pre-approved carrier connections. Voluntary premiums go to carriers only when employees receive paychecks, and the FAQ says employers do not receive a voluntary carrier bill. Continuous auditing compares payroll deductions, remitted amounts, and carrier records to identify discrepancies. The service says every call is recorded and retained indefinitely, with AI-powered analysis for quality assurance and insights. Its no-cost plan provides benefits administration lifecycle services and technology on an à la carte basis. BenManage says standard implementations take 7–15 business days from kickoff to go-live.
