Insurance & employee benefits

Your members text everyone else.
Let them text you.

HSA and FSA questions. Medicare offboarding. The everyday benefits work that clogs a call queue — handled over text, with HIPAA, TCPA, and CMS TPMO designed in from the start.

The job

Benefits runs on questions somebody has to answer.

Members don't read the plan document. They call. Open enrollment triples the volume, the questions are the same seven every year, and the answers are all sitting in a PDF nobody opens.

The way it goes now

  • ×The same HSA, FSA, and eligibility questions, answered by hand, every enrollment cycle
  • ×A portal login and a plan PDF standing between a member and a two-minute answer
  • ×Medicare-eligible employees staying on the group plan because nobody walked them out
  • ×Off-hours questions that wait until Monday, or become a claim
  • ×Generic AI tools your compliance team won't clear for PHI

The Side Nerd way

  • Members text a question and get an answer cited to your plan documents
  • Out-of-scope questions get a clear redirect — never a guess, never advice you didn't approve
  • Medicare-eligible employees are identified and guided out, without a cold call
  • Every interaction logged — what was asked, answered, deflected, and escalated
  • Consent, disclosure, and retention handled inside the boundary, not bolted on
Why this is hard

Anyone can build a chatbot. Almost nobody can clear your compliance review.

Benefits sits on top of PHI, TCPA consent, and — the moment Medicare enters the conversation — CMS TPMO marketing rules. That's the reason the easy version of this product doesn't exist. We wrote the guides before we wrote the pitch.

Where to start

Two products. Same platform. Pick the one that matches your book.

Both run on the same engine — interpret intent, extract fields, validate gaps, resolve. What differs is who's texting and what comes out the other end.

MediMatch

For brokers & General Agents

White-label SMS Medicare intake. Offboard Medicare-eligible employees from a self-funded plan, cut the employer's claims exposure, and keep the client relationship yours — the outreach carries your brand, not ours.

The job

Guided Intake — someone outside the organization is trying to get in. A completed, qualified Medicare application, routed to the agent who acts on it.

Compliance posture

HIPAA and TCPA designed in; CMS TPMO disclaimers handled in the message flow.

Ask Frank

For TPAs & benefits administrators

HSA, FSA, and HRA questions answered by text, 24/7, with no app to install. Members get an answer in seconds; your support team stops fielding the same seven calls — especially through an open-enrollment surge.

The job

Grounded Answers — someone just needs an answer. Grounded in your plan documents, cited to the source, with a logged deflection your team never had to field.

Compliance posture

Answers are limited to the documents you provide. Anything outside scope gets a redirect, never a guess.

What it actually looks like

A member's question. A record your dashboard can read.

Not a conversation log — a typed, validated row. This is the part that turns support volume into something you can report on at renewal.

Employee texts
"can i use my FSA for my kids glasses"
Ask Frank replies
Yes — prescription eyeglasses for a dependent are an eligible FSA expense under IRS Publication 502.

Straight about the numbers

Ask Frank currently deflects more than 80% of inbound questions based on live client usage. The cost-per-contact and claims-avoidance figures you'll see on our product sites are modelled from industry benchmarks, not measured from your book — they're labelled that way there, and we're not going to pretend otherwise here. If you want a number you can take to a renewal, run a pilot and we'll measure yours.
