by | Aug 15, 2024 | Orion

Benefits Alliance is proud to announce that Orion Travel Insurance has been selected as a new Preferred Solutions Provider. Benefits Alliance is committed to carefully vetting and selecting providers to become a Preferred Solutions Provider with their organization. As one of Canada’s leading travel insurance companies, Orion is known for its exceptional claims experience and strives to ensure travellers have access to the information and products they need to travel protected.

“Our advisors specialize in the group benefits and group retirement industry and often are charged with working with their plan sponsor clients to find solutions for unique and complex needs. When it comes to travel coverage and service, a built-in travel package with carriers may not always meet the needs,” said Carolyne Eagan, President of Benefits Alliance. “The product solutions and service of Orion is a great fit to help our advisors have easy access to enhanced solutions as needed. We look forward to working with the Orion team to ultimately help serve employers and Canadians in this market.”

As part of the CAA family, one of the most trusted brands in Canada, Orion understands the importance of the employee experience. Their employee-focused travel insurance draws insights from CAA Travel, resulting in unique coverage that travellers desire and companies appreciate. Orion’s tailored benefits program is built with employees in mind and reflects their commitment to safety. Since 2013, they’ve protected over 5.8 million Canadians with a solid commitment to service and partnerships. For Benefits Alliance, this partnership means a hassle-free solution that can confidently be offered to members.

“We’re excited to join Benefits Alliance because our values align. Their strong focus on advocacy and collaboration resonates with Orion Travel Insurance and our CAA roots,” said Kellee Irwin, Vice President, Orion Travel Insurance. “Benefits Alliance champions the growth and success of independent benefits advisory firms, providing resources, solutions, and forums for professional development and collaboration. Their industry advocacy efforts benefit Canadian employers, employees, and advisors, making them a valuable partner for Orion.”
