Admin can be Ruff: What Help Does the Chambers Plan Actually Give You?
When you’re running a small business, it can feel like there’s never enough time in the day. Between looking after clients, managing staff, and keeping the books balanced, employee benefits can sometimes feel like one more thing on the pile, especially when working with a leaner team.
That’s where the Chambers Plan helps lighten the load. Beyond providing health and dental coverage, the Plan also includes administrative support designed to make managing benefits more straightforward for business owners.
One of the most valuable features is the my-benefits platform, which is available online and through a mobile app. Employers can add or update employees, calculate payroll deductions, view billing statements, and manage other day-to-day tasks without needing to wade through paperwork, offering efficiency without requiring a large HR team.
Claims and billing are also set up to be efficient. Most health and dental claims are processed within two business days, and prescription drugs are often covered right at the pharmacy counter with the member Assure Card. Billing is consolidated and available online, reducing the time spent tracking down invoices or waiting for mail to arrive. This quick turnaround and simplified system save administrators valuable time while keeping employees satisfied with timely reimbursements.
Support doesn’t end with technology. Every business enrolled in the Chambers Plan works with a dedicated local advisor who can provide guidance when questions come up or when changes need to be made to a plan. On top of that, the Plan is supported nationally through Johnston Group and a Service Centre that handles the operational side, so businesses have both local knowledge and broader administrative resources available to them. This structure provides continuity and peace of mind, especially for smaller organizations that may not have in-house expertise.
There are also additional services that fall under the umbrella of administrative support. For example, the Business Assistance Service offers confidential access to legal, accounting, and human resources professionals for up to six hours each year. This type of help can be particularly valuable for small business owners who may need advice but don’t have specialists on staff.
Employees can also access Best Doctors, a service that connects them with specialists for second opinions and support during serious medical diagnoses, providing easy-to-access support and peace of mind for both you and your employees.
In practice, this means the Chambers Plan takes much of the administrative burden off your shoulders. You’re not left to navigate benefits administration alone. Instead, you have access to digital tools, a dedicated advisor, national support, and value-added services that provide practical solutions to everyday challenges.
So, while no benefits plan can make your inbox disappear, the Chambers Plan comes close by simplifying the administrative side of things. It’s one less hat for business owners to wear and one more way to keep operations running smoothly.
