Health and Welfare Benefit Offering
McGuffin Creative Group offers medical, dental, vision, short- and long-term disability, and term life insurance to all W2 employees working an average of 30 or more hours per week. We use a third party, Gallagher, that manages all of our health and welfare benefits. They are located at 1111 W. 22nd Street #620, Oak Brook, IL 60523.
Our Gallagher contact is Susan Special who can be contacted at susan_special@ajg.com or 630-353-2362. As a new employee, Susan will provide you with your Benefit Orientation and assist you in the enrollment process. In addition, all MCG employees have access to an Employee Advocate (EA). The advocate’s role (EA) is to assist you with any benefit issues that you may encounter and answer benefit questions that arise. Our assigned EA (Employee Advocate) is Julie Wall. She can be contacted at julie_wall@ajg.com or 630-353-2336. Due to privacy laws, there may be times when a HIPAA form will be required in order for Julie to discuss your claims with the carrier and she will notify you if applicable. The form will simply require your signature to allow Julie to speak with the carriers on your behalf.
