The Benecon Group specializes in developing innovative and effective employee benefit solutions. Our company goal is to help employers effectively control benefit plan expenditures and design programs that meet the strategic needs of the employer and the personal needs of the employees.
Samuel N. Lombardo, President and CEO, is a well-known insurance entrepreneur whose companies gained national recognition when they were listed four different times by Inc. Magazine as one of the "500 Fastest Growing Companies in America".
One of Lombardo's earlier successes was the creation of health insurance purchasing cooperatives for municipalities. The success of this program led to the formation of Inter-Municipal Insurance Services (IMIS) in 1992. To date, municipal cooperative programs covering hundreds of municipalities have been organized.
In 1997, The Benecon Group was formed through the merger of the benefits division of S.N. Lombardo Insurance Brokers and IMIS.
The professional staff of the Consulting & Actuarial Divisions serve the needs of larger employers in the central Pennsylvania area. The Government Services Division manages the municipal, county and public schools group purchasing cooperatives. In addition, the Broker Services Division serves as a General Agency for Capital BlueCross/Keystone Health Plan Central, Highmark Blue Shield, HealthAmerica/HealthAssurance, United Healthcare, United Concordia and Delta Dental. The combined divisions of Benecon distribute products or services that cover over 100,000 area employees and family members.
