How It Works

How do you choose the plans that go in the Bright Choices store?

Liazon and North Risk Partners have formed unique relationships with the top national and regional carriers you know and trust to bring your employees a selection of top-notch benefit plans.  North Risk Partners works with each employer to recommend the best carriers and plan offerings so that employees have access to a variety of plan options to ensure each family’s diverse needs are met.


When employees log in to Bright Choices, they will have access to a sophisticated questionnaire which makes recommendations given their health profile, financial status, risk tolerance, and preferences. It reveals the actual costs of benefits and educates them to make informed decisions.

With Bright Choices, the employee is in control, choosing the plans recommended by Bright Choices or anything else in the store.
