What is Benefits Mentor? 

Benefits Mentor is a decision support tool that allows you to compare U-M's Health Plans to determine which plan best suits your needs. The interactive tool analyzes information you list as important – such as cost, physician network and specific benefits – and factors in either your historical claims data or benchmark claims data to suggest a health plan for you. 

Using Benefits Mentor, you can compare plan options, explore and refine recommendations and find the best-fit plan for your needs. 

In addition, Benefits Mentor offers the following: 

  • Provides claims history for you and your family members to make informed decisions based on historical patterns.
  • Enables modeling of changes to dependents and the potential impact.
  • Allows for side-by-side comparison between benefit plan options, including the new Consumer-Driven Health Plan.
  • Provides a suggested benefit plan option for you to consider.

To use Benefits Mentor, go to Wolverine Access and enter “Benefits Mentor” in the search field. 

Please note: Benefits Mentor is a decision support tool only. Using it does not enroll you in a health plan or change your existing health plan.
