Milwaukee, WI – September 17, 2014
Zywave, Inc. (“Zywave”), a leading provider of insurance software solutions, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of PLAN DOC Builder, a division of Strategic Recovery Partnership, a law firm specializing in subrogation rights. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
PLAN DOC Builder is a software tool that automatically produces compliant Health Plan Documents and Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs). All employers subject to ERISA are required to provide compliant, easy-to-understand Summary Plan Descriptions to employees. In a 2014 Zywave survey of over 3,000 employers, more than 90% of respondents said that it was important or very important that their insurance broker help prepare their SPDs to comply with the ACA and ERISA. PLAN DOC Builder simplifies this process for health insurance brokers and their clients.
Commenting on the acquisition, Dave O’Brien, Chief Executive Officer of Zywave said, “Producing compliant plan documents is a crucial need for employers as the DOL substantially increases the number of ERISA compliance audits it conducts, and PLAN DOC Builder allows brokers to efficiently step in to fulfill this need. In conjunction with the Zywave suite of solutions, PLAN DOC Builder creates a compelling story for our network of brokers to gain and retain business.”
