Flexible Benefit Group, Inc. was formed in 1985 as a firm specializing in cafeteria plans. FBG operated independently until 1989 when they began working with medical Third Party Administrators (TPA) to provide combined cafeteria and self funded medical plan administration for plan sponsors.
FBG now provides cafeteria administrative services through a number of medical TPAs, as well as providing cafeteria only services direct to client plan sponsors.
