Our Story

A Vision That Started Small — and Stayed Personal

Over 30 years ago, The Benefit Group started as a small, local business with a big vision — and a simple belief: that employers deserve a partner who actually knows them. From those beginnings, we built a reputation for exceptional third-party administrative services.

Through creativity, innovation, and a genuine understanding of client needs, TBG grew into a leading third-party administrator in the self-funded market. Today, under the leadership of President Linie Humpal, we continue to lead the industry — while never losing the personal, boutique touch that defined us from day one.

We believe every client is unique and deserves personalized service. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.
