INTRODUCTION
For over 60 years, the IBA Group Insurance Trust has supported Indiana banks and financial institutions with an employee benefits program. By pooling resources, the Trust gives standalone Indiana banks the size and scope of their larger national peers to deliver best in class benefits at a sustainable price. Since 2004, the Trust has returned over $14 million dollars back to Trust members in the form of dividends or premium reductions.
BENEFITS OVERVIEW
Medical & Rx
The Trustees of the IBA Group Insurance Trust are committed to providing high quality employee benefits to Trust members. The Trustees are committed to helping banks control costs by aggregating the collective purchasing power of its participating employers.
The Trustees work with trusted professionals at NFP, UnitedHealthcare and Express Scripts to provide Trust members with the following benefits:
- Access to the nation’s largest provider network, offering seamless healthcare access within Indiana and nationwide
- Aggregated prescription drug program that generates discounts and rebates for the Trust which are utilized to control future cost increases
- Strategic direction to control present and future healthcare costs for Trust members.
Dental Insurance
The Trustees selected Delta Dental to serve as the dental insurance carrier for Trust members.
Delta Dental provides the advantages of two of the nation’s largest networks of participating dentists—the Delta Dental PPO network and the Delta Dental Premier® network. With your Delta Dental PPO (Point-of-Service) plan, you may save more money and receive higher levels of coverage when visiting a Delta Dental PPO dentist. The PPO dentists have agreed to accept lower fees as full payment for covered services. However, if you go to a dentist who doesn’t participate in Delta Dental PPO, you can still save money if your dentist participates in Delta Dental Premier.

People EQ Wellbeing & Engagement Platform
One of the biggest challenges plaguing HR departments today is delivering an economical, comprehensive, total engagement solution. Just 32 percent of US workers are engaged in their jobs and only 19 percent are considered thriving in four out of five areas of their lives. Engagement and well-being are keys to employee performance and productivity. To complicate matters further, employees often report not knowing, understanding or valuing their total rewards package offered. Only 36 percent of employees report reading all benefit communications. And one in five (20 percent) admit they often skip benefits meetings or presentations, don’t read communications that come in the mail, or file or throw away the information they receive without reading it. The PeopleEQ Platform addresses these challenges for Trust members by strategically combining an employer benefits and communication hub, employee resources dashboard, and lifestyle well-being programs into a cost-effective, comprehensive and engaging platform. This allows your employees to get the most out of your benefits offerings and live their best life at work.
Comprehensive Benefits Hub
- At-a-glance access for all your employee benefit offerings.
- Highlight the key programs in your benefit plan (Tele-med, 401k, etc.).

Employee Resource Dashboard

- Internal training documents
- Option to include forms and other important documents (SBCs, Beneficiary forms, etc)

Benefits Compliance
While the need for effective and proactive compliance support was significant prior to 2010, the level of support an employer requires has and will grow exponentially over the next decade as a result of continued healthcare reform. This is an area in which the Trust takes very seriously and has the capability of handling unique benefits compliance challenges.
NFP's dedicated team of in-house compliance specialists aggregate, interpret, disseminate, and provide specific action steps for relevant legislation. NFP's compliance team is well versed in a variety of benefits compliance topics, including ACA, FFCRA, HIPAA, COBRA, etc. NFP will provide all IBA Group Insurance Trust members with ad-hoc industry update notices and newsletters when significant events take place.
