Your group insurance plan is a strategic investment that takes into account your business plan, positioning, goals and financial means. The STA team can help you leverage this investment using recognized actuarial principles and negotiate with insurers to obtain the best rates for your employees.  

For example, STA recommends that you implement a cost control program, depending on your situation. STA brokers can help you develop a demographic profile of your employees and projections regarding the use of certain services covered under your insurance plan.

The STA team is highly knowledgeable about the ins and outs of heath care plans and ways of effectively managing costs. STA offers you a variety of financing alternatives and options regarding the services covered. These innovative solutions will ensure that you get the most out of your plan.

Independent, expert advice

STA works with you to review all documents sent to you by the insurer.

STA brokers are available to meet with your employees, either one on one or as part of a group presentation. The STA team can be contacted at any time.

As an independent firm, STA sits on insurance committees set up by employers, unions or other designated parties. The firm deals with all insurance companies throughout Quebec, although it has no financial ties with them or any particular financial institution. STA is therefore an independent, objective expert that ensures your plan complies with all applicable legislation, regulations and standards.

In addition, STA brokers will represent you in the case of a dispute with your insurance company to ensure prompt settlement.
