Once again, MedBen has topped the list of Largest Central Ohio Employee Benefits Companies as ranked by Columbus Business First in their February 15, 2019 issue.
“While we have clients all across the country, our roots are firmly planted in Central Ohio,” said MedBen President and CEO Kurt Harden. “And because we can draw from the local talent pool, I think we’ve assembled a talented and innovative benefits management team.”
Harden noted that over a quarter of MedBen’s employees have been with the company for over two, and in some cases three, decades. “We take great pride in our stability, not only as it ensures that our clients receive quality service over the long term, but also that it reflects well on our working environment,” he said.
The local element of MedBen extends to its service offerings. “Many of our most popular services have a regional underpinning, such as our community health plans and direct-to-employer contracting. Most recently, we introduced MedBen Rx Alliance, which brings together area hospitals and pharmacies to provide lower-cost drugs to qualified organizations,” Harden said.
“The Rx Alliance builds on work we’ve done with our hospital clients for over a decade, and enhances our acquisition cost index pharmacy program that has saved our clients significant claim costs by cutting the hidden margins out of prescription drug benefit programs.”
MedBen is also one of the oldest companies on the list, having begun operations in May of 1938.
