Case Study: Education Co-Op Group achieves nearly $2M in annual savings and hundreds of admin hours saved with Businessolver

Education co-op partners with Businessolver® to achieve time and cost savings worthy of the honor roll

Education Co-Op Group, an educational benefits cooperative covering 18,000+ lives across 94 school districts and onboarding 70+ groups to date, faced a fully paper-based enrollment process and inconsistent, manual billing and payment workflows. Employees submitted paper election forms that HR staff at each district had to enter manually, creating significant time burdens, data inaccuracies, and payment leakage — problems they brought to Businessolver and its Benefitsolver platform.

Businessolver implemented an automated Billing System within the Benefitsolver platform that adjusts invoices with debits and credits based on election changes and reconciles to each vendor’s billing rules and retro windows. The automation saved hundreds of administrative hours across the cooperative in a year and delivered an estimated $2 million in annual savings in year one; key impacts included a total premium shortage of $1,277,148, staff time saved valued at $124,270, and $542,099 addressed in data discrepancies. Businessolver’s solution also cut processing time roughly in half for administrators.
