Key Findings & Highlights:

This NelsonHall vendor assessment analyzes Empyrean’s offerings and capabilities in Benefits Administration Services.

Empyrean, headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a provider of technology and services for employee benefits administration, benefits education, and communication. It is a subsidiary of Securian Financial Group, Inc (Securian Financial), a North American financial services organization providing insurance, investment, and retirement solutions through a number of subsidiary companies.

The benefits business was founded in 2006 when Empyrean entered the benefits market with the objective of providing service-focused health and welfare benefits administration services, underpinned by its proprietary technology and now positions as a technology-enabled benefits administration company. Empyrean markets its benefits platform and/or benefits administration services to:

  • Employers (~80% of business): includes benefits administration services and its proprietary technology to both large and mid-market sized organizations with over 1.5k employees
  • Brokers and consultants (~10% of business): includes a white-label offering which primarily consists of Empyrean’s proprietary technology platform, for small employers with 500 – 2.5k employees
  • Healthcare exchanges and carriers (~10% of business): includes supplying its proprietary technology to insurance companies to facilitate enrollment and supplying its technology to facilitate private exchanges

Historically, Empyrean targeted large market organizations (with >10k employees) in the U.S. for its benefits administration services. In 2012, it launched a mid-market offering to facilitate growth down-market.

Empyrean has largely grown its benefits administration business organically. In June 2016, it acquired Bloom Health after a three-year partnership whereby Empyrean supplied the back-end engine for Bloom Health’s private exchange. Empyrean was acquired in December 2019 by Securian Financial.

Empyrean has ~400 clients, supporting ~3.6m participants focused on the North American market, serving clients in both the U.S. and Canada.
