Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) are rapidly expanding across the United States. In the past year alone, 17% of businesses with 10-99 employees were PEO clients. Philadelphia's market has been primed for growth in PEO adoption, particularly with the need for a PEO offering Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. Alcott HR's arrival provides local businesses with access to Highmark BCBS and a full range of HR and payroll services, filling this gap and setting a new standard in the region.

Health Insurance

When it comes to health insurance, all businesses in Pennsylvania with less than 50 employees have been considered “Small Group”. Small Groups rates are predetermined by size and demographics and are all the same regardless of broker, relationship strength, or negotiating acumen.

There is a better way.

Professional Employer Organization (PEO) aggregates qualified employers as a large group for a variety of employment related needs such as workers’ compensation, retirement plans, employment practices liability, HR technology, and…..Employee Benefits.

Why Highmark?

• As part of the BlueCross BlueShield Association, client employees have access to the largest in the U.S national network in the U.S. with access to 95% of all hospitals and 1.7 million providers plus coverage in 190 countries.

• By leveraging the BCBS Association, every in-network provider for BCBS is available, including your local providers like Jefferson Health, Penn State Health and Main Line Health

• With providers focusing on quality of care, the total cost of care is 5-9% less than other insurers on average. Keeping members healthier and keeping costs down.

Not to mention free FSA, HSA, Transit, EAP, and Workplace perks. Oh, and a 401(k) at no cost to the employer because too good to be true, isn’t quite good enough.
