Revolutionizing the Flow of Data

Working with insurance companies and benefits administration technology companies, LIMRA has developed the first set of data exchange standards focused on post-enrollment data for the employee benefits industry.

The LIMRA Data Exchange (LDEx) Standards® are designed to standardize the data exchanged between insurance carriers and benefits administration technology companies for employee workplace benefits, which aim to reduce errors, drive consistency, and streamline the process.

Why?

As the number of employers moving from paper enrollment to online benefits enrollment grew, the workplace benefits market saw significant growth in the number of technology companies providing the various aspects of benefits administration through technology and the data being exchanged between these technology companies and providers. The new standards aim to support top-line revenue growth, increase speed to market, and help manage bottom-line expenses.  

Why LIMRA?

As an industry trade association with over 100 years of experience and reliability, we brought together workplace benefits insurance companies along with benefits administration technology companies at the right time to create a solution for the industry. Helping our industry come together is what we do best.

Committee Members

The development of the standards would not be possible without the strong collaboration, dedication, and support from the Data Exchange Standards Committee and project team members. LIMRA would like to thank Data Exchange Standards Committee member companies past and present for all of their contributions. We look forward to the continued creation of this shared solution for the workplace benefits industry.
