Sage Abra Benefits Messenger: Automatically and Securely Communicate Employee Benefits Data to All Carriers

Sage Abra Benefits Messenger cuts the costs and complexity of benefits administration by securely automating communication of employee benefits enrollment data with insurance and benefits carriers, eliminating the need to submit paper enrollment forms or create and maintain customized electronic file formats. Abra Benefits Messenger eliminates the costly errors associated with duplicate data entry and ‘missed enrollments’ both during annual open enrollment periods and for employee changes throughout the year. Supporting virtually all benefits carriers, it automatically extracts the benefits data from the Abra HR database, re-formats it to meet the specific requirements of each benefit carrier, and securely transmits it to the carriers over the Internet. Abra Benefits Messenger makes it easy to switch carriers when you need to, giving you more flexibility to find the most cost-effective insurance plans for your company.

Simple and Flexible Communication with Carriers
Simplify the process of communicating with benefits carriers by allowing Abra Benefits Messenger to manage all of the setup and details for you. It automatically reformats the data already in your Abra HR system and sends it to your carriers on your behalf.

Accuracy
Automatically extract employee enrollment data from the Abra HR database, which eliminates the chance of errors. Abra Benefits Messenger saves you money by ensuring that you are not charged for terminated or ineligible employees.

Supports Virtually All Carriers
No matter which benefits providers your company partners with, Abra Benefits Messenger can meet your needs. Abra Benefits Messenger supports insurance carriers in the U.S. and Canada, including health, dental, vision, life, disability, 401(k) and other types of plan providers.

Automatic Scheduling
Automatically extract your benefits data and transmit it to your carriers on the schedule determined by each carrier. Now, you don’t have to worry about “missed enrollments” where employee benefit changes aren’t sent to your insurance providers — scheduled data feeds ensure that all relevant information is consistently communicated to benefits providers.

Easy-to-use Technology
Abra Benefits Messenger does not require complex technology or IT support. Sage Software will handle all of the technical requirements of the data transfer to carriers, so you don’t have to.

E-mail Confirmations and Status Updates
You don’t have to worry about whether your carriers received your benefits data. Abra Benefits Messenger provides you with transmission confirmations and e-mail status messages so that you can be assured that your benefits data has been received.

Security
Abra Benefits Messenger is completely secure. Your sensitive employee benefits data is protected with SFTP & SSL Internet security protocols, PGP encryption, and authentication certificates.
