Buford Media Group Selects Benefits Administrator JI Companies
Austin, TX – Buford Media Group, a Tyler-based company that manages and operates cable properties, has picked JI Companies to serve as third party administrator for their self-funded employee health plan. JI will provide complete plan administration including claims management, customer service, utilization review, flexible spending account administration, and stop loss coordination.
“JI offered us the best of both worlds; a comprehensive, cost-effective program that delivers quality customer service,” said Kathy Rainwater, Executive Vice President of Threlkeld & Company, who helped secure the new business.
JI analyzed and matched networks in order to accommodate employer locations in six states. This solution maximized physician and facility availability and minimized provider disruption to provide responsive health care to Buford employees and their dependents.
“The provider networks are serving our employees well,” commented Connie Lyles, Director of Administration for Buford Media Group. “We are delighted with the responsiveness JI has provided during the transition.”
