The insurance and benefits administrator will use CHS’s cloud-based platform to unify pension and health plan operations across its organization.
Amalgamated Life Insurance Company and Amalgamated Employee Benefits Administrators (White Plains, N.Y.), members of the Amalgamated Family of Companies, have signed a five-year agreement with Comprehensive Healthcare Systems Inc. (Calgary, Alberta) to implement the Novus360 platform for integrated administration of employee benefits and pension plans.
The agreement was signed on December 16, 2025. Implementation is set to begin immediately.
Amalgamated selected Novus360 after an extensive evaluation process. The platform will support the organization’s health and pension benefits administration in the Taft-Hartley multiemployer space, with capabilities for enrollment, claims processing, compliance tracking, and analytics, all within a single cloud-based system.
“We selected Comprehensive Healthcare Systems because of their depth of expertise in both pension and health benefits administration,” says Sanjay Chojar, SVP and CIO, Amalgamated. “The Novus360 platform stood out for its flexibility and integration capabilities within complex environments. This agreement will enable us to elevate our administrative service delivery and better serve our employer groups and participants.”
Efficiency and Transparency
The new system is expected to streamline workflows, provide real-time transparency to members and trustees, and improve operational efficiency across Amalgamated’s benefits business.
“This five-year partnership marks a defining moment for Comprehensive Healthcare Systems and for the future of Taft-Hartley health and pension benefits administration, as our battle-tested Novus360 platform is deployed with one of the largest and most respected administrators in the multiemployer union space. This could significantly expand the reach of a solution that has already proven itself with union clients across the U.S.,” comments Chris Cosgrove, CEO, Comprehensive Healthcare Systems. “By unifying health and pension administration on a single, modern, member-first system, this agreement could set a new benchmark for eliminating outdated silos, delivering real-time transparency for members and trustees, and driving measurable cost savings and efficiency at enterprise scale.”
