Pekin Life Insurance Company Announces New Health Claim Service

Pekin Life Insurance Company has been providing benefit administration services to their group health insureds for nearly half a century. Recognizing their long history of expertise in employee benefit administration and commitment to providing service that goes Beyond the expected,® a third party administration unit has been created to extend their professional support to businesses that prefer to self-fund their benefits.

Group Plan Solutions (GPS) Benefit Administration, a division of Pekin Life Insurance Company, was established to help guide employers through the maze of health care reform while providing direction to finding the optimal solution to employee benefit needs.

Peggy Collins, Vice President - Group and Claim Services, remarks, “Many TPAs focus on how quickly your claims are processed. We focus on making sure that your claims have been examined for ways to save you money, while still making sure your employees are paid the benefits you have promised them. You can trust that we will be as fiscally responsible with your self-funded benefit dollars as we are with claims we process as an insurance provider.”

Terrie Strebing is the company’s new TPA Administrator. With over 10 years of experience in the third party administration arena, she will guide businesses to provide an outstanding benefit package for their employees. 

Strebing hails from Danville, Illinois, where she attended Danville Area Community College. Her previous experience as an account executive; manager, client development; and client development coordinator in the health industry will aid in the building of trust with new TPA clients while finding innovative solutions to client problems.

A multi-line company, Pekin Life Insurance Company also offers individual and

group life and health products; including term life, universal life, major medical,

Medicare supplement, annuity, credit insurance, debt protection, and pre-need
