Total Transparency.
Benefits Consulting Fees
In the world of benefits consulting, hidden fees and opaque pricing are all too common. At DCW Group, we believe in a different approach. We're committed to total transparency, not just with the benefits we offer but also with how we work with you.
That's why we:
- Clearly disclose our pricing: We won't keep you guessing about costs. Our fees are straightforward and easy to understand.
- Prioritize fee-based arrangements: We eliminate commissions on insurance products whenever possible, ensuring our recommendations are always in your best interest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Benefits Consulting
-
Why are you more expensive than my current Consultant?
We hear this a lot during initial meetings. That's why we insist on full compensation disclosure from new client's insurance carriers. You might be surprised by the “management fees,” “retention programs,” “per prescription fees,” and other hidden compensation your prior consultant received. We’re not more expensive, we’re just honest.
-
How do you compete with larger firms?
DCW Group is a partner in United Benefit Advisors (UBA), the United States' leading independent employee benefits organization. This partnership, encompassing over 2,000 benefit professionals across 46 states and serving nearly 5 million employees, allows DCW Group to remain independent but access resources and markets reserved for much larger firms.
-
Are you able to serve a company our size?
Yes! Regardless of your company's size, you'll receive the close attention and expertise you deserve. You'll work directly with a dedicated account team, ensuring personalized support. Our sophisticated technology, including AI tools, allows us to provide faster, more efficient service than our competitors. We're confident this combination consistently outperforms our competition.
Benefits Administration
-
Can you assist with ACA Reporting?
Yes! Our software can track variable-hour employees, assign safe harbors, and generate and send 1094-C & 1095-C forms to employees and the IRS. -
Do you handle COBRA?
Yes! We have an integrated COBRA provider to ensure your company maintains compliance and streamlines administration. -
How do you secure our data?
Employee Navigator, our software provider, leads the industry with the highest level of security and compliance for protecting sensitive regulated data. Employee Navigator is audited annually for SOC2 Type II, HITRUST, NIST, GDPR, 23 NYCRR 500, and CCPA.
Employee Support
-
Who do you help?
Our Benefits Help Desk is for your employees and their covered dependents. We can support them for all the benefits we manage and direct any questions outside our scope to your Human Resources or Total Rewards team. -
What kind of issues do you handle?
We handle a wide range of issues related to the benefits we manage. Answering questions about updating or enrolling in benefits, educating employees about the plan designs, and assisting with claims issues. -
Does this replace our staff?
Absolutely not! Our Benefits Help Desk is an independent resource designed to take all benefits-related inquiries off of your plate. This allows your Human Resources or Total Rewards team to focus on high-impact initiatives that a partner can't replicate or support effectively.
