Employee Benefits
Certified by the accredited Health Rosetta, we are part of an ecosystem for scaling the adoption of practical non-partisan fixes to our healthcare system.
Our Competitive Edge
Amber Hickman is one of roughly 200 employee benefits advisors across the country who are Health Rosetta certified. As an advisor who adheres to the Health Rosetta principles, she believes in doing things differently. Hickman & Knox is committed to lowering health plan spend, while simultaneously improving the quality of care for plan members. We do this by dismantling what we have come to know as “traditional health insurance”, and building it back up, the right way.
Overview of Services
Benefits & HR Administration
Managing benefits is not hard, but it is time consuming. Paper processes and manual entry can burden even the most diligent HR team. Hickman & Knox has invested in the technology and resources to create efficiencies, improve accuracy and save money.
Cost Containment & Strategic Planning
Many employers (and employees) have become accustomed to moving carriers every few years to keep astronomical increases at bay. To break this cycle, Hickman & Knox offers a proven formula to deliver a long-term, multi-year benefits strategy - reducing financial volatility for your company and providing continuity and consistency for your employees. We do all this while enhancing the benefits, not diluting them!
Compliance Support
Employer responsibilities and legal requirements can be an intimidating and overwhelming topic. Not only are they a moving target, but oftentimes have huge penalties associated with noncompliance. We do the research to make sure our clients stay current, informed, and compliant.
Over the years, the Altus Team has been extremely satisfied with Amber and Andy’s ability to manage cost by implementing unique ideas and strategies. Their abilities are comparable to the large firms, but offer the uniqueness of a local relationship. We are so fortunate to have them as a partner.
Peter Polimino, Altus Capital Partners, CFO
As TPI has grown and expanded across the Southeast, Andy and his team have grown with us and we consider them a true Partner. When issues arise, they respond quickly. Not only do they keep our management team happy with their abilities to manage cost, but they keep our employees happy with their service standards. The Hickman Knox team CARES!
Tom Gillcrist, Thomson Plastics, Inc., CFO
Over the last 10+ years RW Allen has enjoyed working with the H&K team. They do what they say and do it with urgency. We also appreciate the fact that their firm is committed to being locally owned and operated. This gives us comfort that their service standards will remain the same and their commitment is to us, not shareholders that we don’t know.
Connie Melear, RW Allen Inc., CFO
