Key Differences in Employee Health Benefits

Who the Practices Say They Serve

Mylo and Newfront both broker employee health benefits rather than issue the plan. Mylo markets to employers with 2 to 99 employees. Newfront says Total Rewards serves clients from start-ups to enterprise without a stated minimum group size. 3 5

Packaging Versus Funding Design

Mylo lists health, dental and vision, life and disability, and accident and critical-illness coverage. It describes underwritten medical and Health Savings Accounts as cost options, and a dental/vision or life/disability start if group medical is not yet affordable. Newfront’s Strategic Planning team evaluates fully insured, level-funded, self-funded and captive funding, stop-loss design and pharmacy-benefit contracts.

Newfront's Strategic Planning team evaluates fully insured, level-funded, self-funded and captive funding arrangements for health benefits, and works on stop-loss program design and pharmacy-benefit contract management, including strategies for high-impact drug categories. 8Company-reported. Strategic Planning page, Funding Approach and Pharmacy Solutions sections; advisory scope, not a named health plan design.

Mylo’s reviewed page does not describe captives, stop-loss or level-funded structures. Newfront’s reviewed pages do not describe a phase-in that starts without medical. 3 8

Administration

Mylo gives employees online or phone enrollment and employers a year-round HR portal plus a licensed advisor. Newfront is engaged by consultation and offers benchmarking, disease-management consulting and IBNR actuarial forecasts. Newfront’s reviewed pages do not describe a member claims-assistance process. Neither names the issuing carrier. 3 5 8

What to Confirm in Employee Health Benefits Quotes

  • Confirm whether your census fits Mylo’s 2–99 range or Newfront’s unpublished size range. 3 5
  • Ask Newfront which funding model and pharmacy strategy it would quote. 8
  • Ask Mylo whether medical is underwritten, HSA-compatible, or deferred in favor of other lines. 3
  • Compare Mylo’s portal with Newfront’s benchmarking deliverables, and get carrier names from both. 3 8
