COBRA Software
This is one of the most cumbersome areas of employee benefit management. Some carriers will manage COBRA for a group. Self-funded groups, third-party administrators, payroll companies and independent companies will assume the liability and process of managing COBRA for a per employee, per month fee. However, we have found one of the most efficient and economical ways to manage COBRA is a software program from OnQue called COBRAQ. Demonstration and pricing can be found on their web site.

Veridata Services
The need to know exactly who is working for you and what their past history is has never been more important.
