📚
Benefits Knowledge
Plain-language explanations, compliance issue-spotting, carrier and vendor information, FAQs, strategy notes, and practical reference material organized for quick use.
Benefits knowledge meets practical AI
Better answers for benefits professionals.
BenefitLab is being built to help insurance and employee benefits professionals learn faster, explain benefits more clearly, and turn scattered information into useful work.
Instead of more scattered PDFs, class notes, carrier guides, spreadsheets, and generic AI answers, BenefitLab is being built as a practical place to find answers and get work done.
Three practical ways to help agents.
BenefitLab is easier to understand when it is reduced to the outcomes agents need most: find reliable answers, keep learning, and get client work done faster.
🎓
Benefits Learning
CE and non-CE training that teaches agents what they need to know while also strengthening the larger BenefitLab knowledge base.
🛠️
Working Tools
Quoting, renewal extraction, open enrollment resources, templates, prompts, workflows, and other tools built around the way benefits work actually gets done.
A single subscription for knowledge, learning, and tools.
The upcoming BenefitLab membership is designed to bundle the resources agents need into one practical platform.
Instead of jumping between PDFs, carrier guides, old CE handouts, spreadsheets, saved emails, and generic AI answers, members will have a growing library of benefits knowledge, training, templates, workflows, and tools built for real client situations.
As the platform grows, the goal is to support AI answers grounded in curated benefits material rather than generic internet-level responses.
New online class
Look What AI Built for Me!
Wednesday, July 8 · 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM Central
AI training for benefits professionals
AI can do much more than write better emails.
Most people still think of AI as a writing tool. It can certainly help with emails, articles, presentations, and client communication, but that is only scratching the surface.
This practical live class is part training and part show-and-tell. We will look at real projects AI helped create, including websites, client resources, presentations, benefit portals, workflows, tools, calculators, courses, books, and more.
This class is not approved for CE credit. The focus is learning what AI can actually help insurance and benefits professionals do.
Featured tools.
BenefitLab tools turn benefits knowledge into practical outputs agents can use with clients, including quoting support, renewal extraction, open enrollment resources, templates, prompts, and workflows.
Small Group Quoting Tool
An Excel-based small group quoting tool originally called Stella. It helps agents create client-friendly quote outputs without going online.
BCBSTX Renewal Extractor
Upload a Blue Cross renewal packet and extract the key details agents need for quoting, renewal review, and client communication.
Open Enrollment Portal Tool
Create mobile-friendly open enrollment portals that explain benefits, show costs, include instructions, and support employee acknowledgement.
Templates, Prompts, and Workflows
Practical resources for renewals, client communication, compliance reviews, onboarding, AI prompting, and agency processes.
Useful free resources.
Some BenefitLab resources will remain public because the industry needs better plain-language explanations and practical ideas that are easy to find.

Created by Eric Johnson.
BenefitLab was created by Eric Johnson, a longtime health insurance professional, CE instructor, writer, and tool-builder who has spent nearly three decades helping agents understand and explain benefits.
Eric has worked across the insurance industry, including carrier, agency, general agency, HSA administration, TPA, compliance, writing, CE, and tool development. BenefitLab brings that experience together with AI, structured knowledge, education, and practical tools.
The purpose is simple: help agents learn faster, explain benefits more clearly, and have better resources at the moment they need them.
