Why advisors use EBIQ with clients

Independent, unbranded education

All content is employer-facing and vendor-neutral. Share it without worrying about conflicts of interest or carrier messaging.

Credibility you can point to

Benchmarks cite KFF, Milliman, and RAND. Tools are built on ERISA, ACA, and CAA 2026 statutory requirements — not opinions.

Saves you hours of prep work

The Benefits IQ Checkup, SPD review tool, and PBM contract analyzer do the analytical heavy lifting so you can focus on strategy.

Builds client trust before the meeting

Send a client the Checkup before your renewal conversation. They arrive informed, engaged, and ready to act.

Benefits IQ Checkup
Open in email

Subject

A free 10-minute benefits assessment worth your time

Body

I wanted to share a free tool I've been using with clients — the Benefits IQ Checkup at employerbenefitsiq.com. It takes about 10 minutes and scores your plan across six areas: cost & renewal, plan structure, pharmacy strategy, data & vendors, compliance, and employee experience. The scorecard gives us a concrete starting point for our next conversation. You can access it here: https://www.employerbenefitsiq.com/benefits-plan-checkup

PBM contract review
Open in email

Subject

Have you had your PBM contract independently reviewed?

Body

Most employers have never had their PBM contract independently analyzed — and the terms are often working against them. There's a free AI-powered tool at employerbenefitsiq.com that reviews PBM contracts for spread pricing, rebate manipulation, and gag clause language. It takes about 5 minutes. Worth a look before your next renewal: https://www.employerbenefitsiq.com/tools/pbm-contract-review
