The Health & Voluntary Benefits Association is the first national non-profit trade association focused on Voluntary Benefits for employer groups and affinity groups. Our goal is to promote the education, implementation and enrollment of Voluntary Benefits in the workplace.

Our Mission

• To raise awareness of the advantages Voluntary Benefits have for employees and plan members.
• To provide a reliable source of information, statistics and research data on Voluntary Benefits for employers, affinity groups, insurance companies, insurance agents and consultants.
• To create a central point of communication and networking for employers, affinity groups, insurance companies, insurance agents and consultants.
• To perform research and surveys in the area of Voluntary Benefits.
• To bring the Voluntary Benefits industry together to find more efficient and effective ways to educate, implement and enroll Voluntary Benefits.
• To reduce the costs for members of the association in enrolling or administering their voluntary benefit programs through group purchasing power.
• To work to find new systems, technologies and methods that create more effective enrollment; and to increase employee and plan member participation in Voluntary Benefits.
• To identify new voluntary benefit insurance plans and products that the HVBA’s employer and affinity group members wish to be created and work with insurance companies to create these needed projects.

How is the Health & Voluntary Benefits Association Different?

Unlike other organizations that focus strictly on the Agent/Broker community; the Insurance Carriers; or solely engage with the Human Resource and Benefits Community; the HVBA is dedicated to the entire Group Healthcare & Benefits Ecosystem.

The HVBA bridge’s the gap between the Healthcare/Benefits Sponsors, or the “Buyers,” and their benefits teams; the Carriers and Service Providers; as well as, the very essential “Advisors,” the Agents, Brokers, and Consultants that counsel and guide the Plan sponsors into making the best choice for their workforce!

Why was the Health & Voluntary Benefits Association Created?

The HVBA was created to promote and protect the interests of the multi-billion dollar, multi-million participant, industry. The HVBA was also founded as an employer and affinity group coalition. Many employers and affinity groups do not know where to turn to find out what are the best Voluntary Benefits products to offer to employees, who the best Voluntary Benefits insurance companies are, or who are the best enrollment firms or technology firms. Many employers and affinity groups are looking for new innovative products and new ways to improve education, enrollment and participation in Voluntary Benefits. The Health & Voluntary Benefits Association will work to accomplish these goals on behalf of our employer and affinity group members.
