who we are
In biology, efferent neurons (also known as “motor neurons”) carry signals from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and organs, initiating actions or protecting us from harm. For instance, if you’re about to touch a hot stove, it’s those efferent neurons that quickly signal your muscles to pull your hand away.
While we won’t claim to be culinary experts, we do aim to protect you from the metaphorical “hot stove” when it comes to the group benefits insurance ecosystem.
The spirit behind Efferent Solutions—an independent, full-service employee benefits insurance agency with almost two decades of experience advising employers nationwide—is to create customized, competitive group employee benefit packages.
We serve as a trusted bridge between our employer clients (the brain and spinal cord) and their most valuable assets: their employees (the muscles and organs that keep the organization healthy and thriving). What Sets Us Apart:
Employer and Employee-Centric: We prioritize both the needs of the organization and its people, ensuring a balanced and sustainable benefits strategy.
Carrier-Agnostic: Our solutions are tailored to your unique needs, not influenced by any one insurance provider. This allows us to find the best possible match for your company.
Partner of ACEC Life/Health Trust: As a trusted partner of the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) Life/Health Trust, we bring additional value and access to specialized resources for engineering firms.
Experts in Healthcare Consulting: From ACA-compliant plans to innovative solutions for Level-Funded, Self-Funded, Captive Insurance, Reference-Based Pricing, and Ancillary Benefits, we have the knowledge and experience to guide small to large employers through complex healthcare decisions.
