Strongsville, OH – Antares Management Solutions, with the recommendation and assistance of Gearhart Insurance, has secured a three-year contract to provide Simonton Windows®, one of the nation’s foremost vinyl window and door manufacturers, the Connexion ii web application.
The Antares’ Connexion ii system allows companies such as Simonton, the ability to perform various insurance related tasks: inquiries and basic data transactions, communicate with customer service representatives, and add/change/delete health plan participants, among other functions. Data is updated twice a day with the most current transactions submitted by designated personnel.
The Connexion ii was created by Antares for use by members, employers and providers. The system is flexible and can adapt to the varying needs of other Antares clients.
“As consultants for Simonton Windows, we felt strongly that selecting a robust system and a strong service provider such as Antares, to manage Simonton’s enrollment and eligibility requirements, would be critical to setting a strong foundation for implementing Simonton’s strategy for further reducing plan costs”, said Robert Gearhart.
“Our software makes administration of Simonton’s health plan simpler and more efficient,” said Don Hunt Antares director of System Development. “By serving as Simonton’s eligibility hub, we provide the tools for each human resources generalist in five different locations to maintain benefits eligibility for the employees from a single data source.”
