About SISCO:
SISCO was established in 1980 as a boutique third-party administrator dedicated to the administration of unique, complex plan designs. Today, SISCO is recognized as a premier third-party administrator for employee benefits, serving 600 employers and 1,000,000 members from our headquarters in Dubuque, IA.
For the past decade, many Health Insurance Carriers and Payers have been quietly driving industry trends in the wrong direction. The result is a lower standard of prudent review and ever-increasing costs. Our strategy is to simply administer employer plans with the same care, diligence, and expertise we apply to our own benefit program. Learn more at www.siscobenefits.com
