  • “ I have had the good fortune of working with Marice McKeegan and her team at BB&H Benefit Designs for well over twenty years. My first direct experience with Ms. McKeegan was when I first undertook benefits for CommUnify, then the Community Action Commission of Santa Barbara County. Ms. McKeegan took the time to immerse me in all things benefits including transitioning us to an electronic enrollment system that greatly facilitated my ability to do my job well and improved the efficiency in our department that allowed us to reduced a position. The BB&H team consistently provides us with resources and works directly with our staff to help them navigate their coverage and any bumps in the road.”

  • “What sets BB&H apart is their combination of technical excellence and outstanding service. Over the past year, BB&H has been an invaluable partner in addressing the unique challenges faced by our organization. They took the time to deeply understand our mission, constraints, and goals, crafting tailored solutions that meet our needs while respecting the realities of a limited budget (that we know non-profit work can bring). Their ability to deliver comprehensive, customized benefits has played a crucial role in helping us attract and retain talented staff who are dedicated to our cause.”

  • “I wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much I appreciate Taylor. I have known her for a few years now as she has been our Joni and Friends insurance rep. I am blind and each year I call her and she helps me get through the form, and answers any questions I might have about coverage, perks, etc. Often the web sites on which these items are house are not very accessible with a computer talking screen reader. Today I talked with her as it’s that Open enrollment time again. I also asked her about whether something might be covered under my Trustmark accident insurance plan. She quickly helped me with that form, too, sent it to my secure email so I can take it to the doctor to fill in their portion.”

BB&H starts early in the process of reviewing the benefit needs of our organization. They review our requirements and work with carriers to meet our needs. Introduces new benefits for us to consider and many are those that the industry is utilizing. Offers Employee Navigator to integrate with our payroll system. This integration is a time saver to the Human Resources department as it feeds off of our hiring and termination process. This has been a time saver for payroll. Open enrollment is handled by BB&H. They make a presentation of our plans to our staff and entertain any questions that the staff may have regarding the new plans. BB&H assists our employees with any issues they may have with their claims. This is done in a timely manner, and they always get back to us regarding the information that was found. We have had many claims get resolved. ”

  • “I had the most amazing experience working with Kaija recently. It was clear within the first minute that she understood my unique problem and stepped in to resolve the issue herself. She made multiple calls on my behalf and kept me informed along the way. She reached out to both my insurance provider and doctor personally. My problem was completely resolved within 24 hours and the only call I had to make was to Kaija. I cant express enough how impressed I was with both her professionalism and attention to detail. Thank You BB&H & Kaija!”

  • “BB&H always redefines the concept of customer service. The team takes ownership and cares about our staff's insurance concerns. I've been doing this over 10 years, and this team really puts value on the table at every exchange. This team's virtualization efforts were in line with ours. The last couple of years, our open enrollment was paperless. They have created efficiencies for me and my team saving us countless hours. On behalf of everyone at Signature Travel Network, THANK YOU!”
