Employee Benefits Management Group
EBMG was founded in 1998 and is located in Raleigh NC. Our staff has solid backgrounds in accounting, finance, banking, HR, benefits consulting, and brokerage work, representing more than 75 years of combined experience. Our primary focus is group benefit plans for small to medium size employers. While we are located in North Carolina, we service clients all over the United States.
We assist our clients in providing a wide array of benefits, both employer-paid and voluntary, to their employees. These benefits include: Medical Plans, HSAs, HRAs, Dental Plans, Vision Plans, Group Life Plans, Short and Long Term Disability Plans, voluntary benefits, and more. Most of our clients offer fully-insured benefits, however we do have clients with alternative funding methods.
When employer plans cannot meet the specific needs of an individual employee (or dependent), we can assist with individual medical, dental, life, disability, long-term care, and Medicare Supplemental insurance.
EBMG also handles the needs of business owners and executives, providing executive life insurance policies, cross purchase agreements, key person life insurance, business overhead insurance, and executive LTD carve out policies.
