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
