The carrier forms are not filled out completely. There isn't direct enrollment with the carriers. The carrier forms must be printed out and enrollment completed on carrier website. With not all the information filled in on the enrollment forms it makes it necessary for us to contact the employee to verify information needed for the online enrollments. ----- ### "Rolka Loube's Review" — 4.0/5 > **Alec** | *06 July 2021* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: All around good product/software. The team(s) at BerniePortal are always there to help and are extremely professional every time I have spoken to them. > > **Cons**: The only con I would say that I have would be with the PTO feature we have set up. It has been giving us issues almost the entire time we have been using it. But will say that BerniePortal is always there to help with those issues. > > Rolka Loube is very happy with BerniePortal and is excited to keep using the portal/new services for years to come. ----- ### "Highly Engaged" — 5.0/5 > **Bunny** | *22 August 2017* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The toggle inputs make setting up the portal easy, and, if you have all the pieces (census, subgroup designations, rates, and benefit summaries), a portal can be setup in a day, versus 6-8 weeks on other systems. We utilize the portal mainly during open enrollment since it provides an easy way to post age rates or composite rates and provides a delivery mechanism for ACA required Summary of Benefits and Coverage. It leverages much of the data held in the system to pre-populate enrollment forms and collect actual signatures (via touchscreen or mouse).  It also offers Onboarding capabilities (I-9, W-4, Handbook receipts, etc.) for those companies who want to go paperless.  We launched the portal with our 50+ clients first in order for them to capitalize on the 1095 reporting capabilities with BerniePortal then rolled out portals for smaller clients at their renewal. The system is compatible with any device that can connect to the internet so even field employees can enroll using their phone. We have monthly support calls with our BerniePortal Account Manager to discuss newly released features and provide feedback on cases in progress. > > **Cons**: The system architecture is updated frequently and changes are not always announced, so sometimes we find feature changes that we did not know were happening. Many times these are minor, and improvements, but there have been features removed that we appreciated using. Most rating methods can be accommodated like age rates and composite rates for standard lines of coverage. Disability rate tables can be challenging to setup yourself, but the BerniePortal team is available to handle some or all benefit setups. They have a Defined Employer Contribution mechanism, but currently do not have a Defined Employee Contribution mechanism. Adoption and use by the HR administrator is ultimately needed to gain the most value and utility from the system. Standard client data reports are available for download, but custom reports cannot currently be generated. > > Efficiency and continuity of information delivery of insurance benefits in addition to legible enrollment forms with complete information. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/114119/bernieportal?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/114119/bernieportal) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
