Custom Benefits Insurance Group, Inc. "Your Human Resource Department"

In 1986, Bob Chiesa, owner of the Custom Benefits Insurance Group, launched his career. He did so with one goal in mind; to provide a total service package to small to mid-size companies. As the years have passed, Bob Chiesa and Custom Benefits have evolved into one of the forces in the health and benefits insurance market. From appearing in the Blue Cross Blue Shield TV commercials and serving on one of their agent advisory councils, to being interviewed on WJR radio and quoted numerous times in the Crain ' s Detroit magazine, Bob has earned the respect of the insurance industry.

Bob and Custom Benefits utilize this respect and knowledge to offer the entire spectrum of insurance
programs. With their representation of the majority of the insurance companies, they are able to find the benefit plan design and carrier to best suit their clients' specific needs and goals.

Health insurance premiums have more than doubled in the last five years and legislative restrictions are too numerous to mention. Section 89, HIPAA and Cobra sound like the names of street gangs, but in fact, these are just a few of the recent laws affecting the health insurance plans of most employees. The violation of anyone of these laws is quite severe. This is where Custom Benefits and the benefit plans offered through your chamber can be of intrinsic value to you and your employees.

Whether you are looking at medical, dental, disability, life or vision insurance, or even a 401-K Pension plan, they are able to service all your needs.
