American General Benefits Solutions has launched a multi-product solutions program, geared toward helping companies offer employees more insurance choices, while holding down their benefits costs. The program offers savings for popular insurance products provided through American General's parent company American General Life Cos.

Under this program, price adjustments take place when employers include one or more employer-funded or employee-paid products with employer-funded group dental, group term life or group long-term disability plans offered through American general insurers. Higher savings go into play when three additional products are offered with the employer-funded plan.

"These are challenging times for employers. The economy remains uncertain, unemployment is still near double-digits and health care reform has introduced a new set of complexities," said John Penko, senior vice president of sales for Benefit Solutions. "Our ability to provide a wide selection of products means that our agents can work with employers to structure a benefits package that meets the needs of employees and keeps costs down."
