Quoting Your Company's Benefits Online Has Never Been Easier

One of the most powerful features within our platform is the side-by-side benefit plan comparison, designed to give employers a clear, visual understanding of their options. As shown in the comparison view, your current plan can be displayed alongside quoted alternatives, allowing you to easily evaluate differences in plan type, network, deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, copays, and prescription coverage—all in one place.

Beyond benefit details, the comparison also includes visual cost breakdowns, making it easy to see total cost differences at a glance. Interactive charts highlight overall plan cost, employee contribution levels, and enrollment distribution, helping you quickly identify how each plan impacts both the employer and employees. This ensures you’re not only comparing pricing, but also understanding how coverage changes may affect utilization and enrollment behavior.

Even with multiple plan options and contribution groups, built-in filters and dropdown selections allow you to narrow comparisons to the plans that best fit your group’s specific needs. Whether you’re reviewing employee-only rates or family tiers, the platform keeps complex data organized and easy to interpret.

These same comparison tools extend beyond medical plans—dental plan comparisons are also available within the portal. For those who want to dig even deeper, Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBCs) for most plans are conveniently housed within the system, providing quick access to detailed documentation without leaving the platform.

Every group has unique needs, and there’s no one better than you to determine what works best. Our role is to provide clarity, transparency, and the tools needed to confidently evaluate your options—so you can make informed decisions every step of the way.

In addition to reviewing the hundreds of plans quoted through the Sanus Benefits Portal, employers also have the ability to review carrier-specific plan enhancements available with each medical option. As shown in the carrier enhancements view, these value-added programs are provided directly by the carrier and are designed to help reduce costs for both the employer and the insured, while also expanding access to convenient, high-quality care.

Carrier enhancements may include programs such as discount prescriptions, virtual care solutions, chronic condition management, direct provider partnerships, and lifestyle support tools. These offerings go beyond standard plan benefits and can play a meaningful role in improving employee engagement, health outcomes, and overall plan value—often at no additional cost.

Each carrier offers a unique set of enhancements, and availability can vary by plan type and network. Because of this, certain enhancements may be a better fit for specific groups than others. For example, a carrier that offers discounted lab services or direct lab partnerships may be especially beneficial for a group with high bloodwork utilization, while accessible and no cost virtual care or wellness programs (Sanus Benefits App) may be more impactful for a remote or younger workforce.

By housing these enhancements directly within the portal, employers can easily review, compare, and factor them into their decision-making process—ensuring they’re not only selecting the right plan based on cost and coverage, but also maximizing the additional tools and resources available to support their employees’ health and wellbeing.

For those who prefer a more traditional approach to reviewing benefit options, the Sanus Benefits Portal also offers a classic spreadsheet-style comparison of medical plans. As shown in the example above, this view presents plan details in a familiar, side-by-side table format, making it easy to review carriers, plan types, networks, deductibles, copays, and out-of-pocket maximums at a glance.

This feature allows employers to export and download detailed plan data into Excel, providing a convenient way to analyze information offline or share it with stakeholders who may not be active users of the portal. To support collaborative decision-making, the portal also allows for multiple employer logins, ensuring that all decision makers can review plan options in the format that works best for them.

The classic spreadsheet option is fully integrated with the portal’s plan filtering tools and is available on each coverage page. The downloadable Excel file automatically reflects any filters applied during your search. For example, if you filter your results to show only Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, the exported spreadsheet will include only those selected options, ensuring consistency between what you see on screen and what you download.

By offering both interactive comparisons and traditional spreadsheet exports, the Sanus Benefits Portal gives employers the flexibility to review, analyze, and share plan information in the way that best supports their decision-making process.
