TriNet Offers Benefits Coverage Options to Companies Affected by PacAdvantage’s Withdrawal from the Market

PacAdvantage customers can replace current plans with rich offerings from the many of the same carriers such as Blue Shield, Health Net, and Kaiser.

SAN LEANDRO, Calif. (PRWEB) September 12, 2006 -- TriNet, a full-service provider of payroll, benefits, and HR services, announced that it would work with many of PacAdvantage’s customers to provide high-caliber benefits coverage (http://www.trinet.com/PacAdvantage) using former PacAdvantage carriers such as Blue Shield, Health Net, and Kaiser. PacAdvantage’s impending bankruptcy means that over 6,200 businesses representing 116,000 employees across California now have a matter of months to obtain healthcare coverage. A substantial portion of those companies fit TriNet’s typical customer profile of high-performance technology, financial service, and professional service industries, and therefore may find significant value and ROI by partnering with the 20-year veteran of HR outsourcing services.

PacAdvantage is an independent, non-profit purchasing pool for small businesses. It was intended to make health insurance more available and affordable and to ensure a choice of health plans for employees of small businesses. The company has announced that it will cease providing pooled health insurance coverage small businesses in California at the end of the year because of the withdrawal of health plan providers from the program.

"TriNet’s benefits offering contains many of the same advantages of PacAdvantage’s plans,” said Mike Triantos, TriNet’s Vice President of Sales. “Since we work with highly compensated workforces, we offer plans with a substantial range of choice that allow small businesses to compete in the same talent marketplace as larger, more established companies. With a wide range of PPO and HMO options from major carriers, many of whom are already being used by PacAdvantage customers, TriNet is uniquely positioned to serve companies impacted by the PacAdvantage situation."

"In addition, TriNet provides more than simply healthcare coverage,” Triantos continued. "We offer end-to-end payroll services, assistance with selected areas of employer compliance, and a robust technology offering that includes an HRIS platform and secure, self-service features for managers and employees."

TriNet welcomes the opportunity (http://www.trinet.com/PacAdvantage) to hear from PacAdvantage customers who are seeking healthcare and HR outsourcing alternatives prior to year’s end.
