Also, it was great that you reviewed and submitted all the pertinent documents to the insurance company and advised me on how to best go through this process.

It is nearly impossible to list all the numerous services you have provided to me throughout this reimbursement claim experience. You have been super nice, friendly and proactive every step of the way even in the face of a variety of requests, issues, and ridiculous conditions imposed, etc.

I am definitely happy that my firm retained Ahern ELT to service our numerous insurance needs. And I am very glad that my secretary advised me to call you to help me with this matter. In sum, I wish to convey my deepest thanks to you.”

They have provided tailor-made solutions to meet different needs at the different companies, and are always concerned that our needs are met. (In all cases they have been.)

His team is fantastic! Every question I have, no matter how trivial, gets answered promptly and accurately. In cases where additional action is required (and you know this happens in health insurance) they are willing to act as an advocate to make sure my issues get resolved.

My other team members report that their experiences working with Ed’s team are the same.

They have been great for us, at all of our companies, and I look forward to working with them for years to come.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Ed Lee at HTS/WFI. Quite simply, I have never enjoyed better service, expertise, or results from any other benefits provider in my 20+ years in HR. Ed works diligently to craft the perfect benefits package to match the company’s needs. Once in place, Ed and his team are on-the-spot providing service, support, and problem-solving expertise. I highly recommend Ed and his team.”

—Liz Sigal, HR Manager

Wireless Facilities Inc.

“Starting out as a startup we grew to a company of 25 employees and we considered offering some benefits but knew nothing about the complexities of setting up a comprehensive benefits package. Ed and his Team walked us through all the options that were best for my employees and steered us through the maze of legal and financial obligations.

We knew computers but Ed knew benefits! He gave us the options and flexibility as if we were a company of 250 employees and better yet got us the best rates as well.

Over the years, ELT Insurance has always been our benefits provider. In so many years we grew to a company with 250 employees and Ed was always by our side. Even though we were a much bigger company than the startup of years ago, he gave each one of our employees the same attention as if we were that same startup of years past.

Thank you, Ed!”
