Leadership

Benantonio Forgione, GBDS, REBC

Chief Operating Officer
Phone: 1 603-227-2005

 

In 2014, Benantonio joined Combined Services, LLC after serving as a worksite sales executive at Colonial Life. There he developed integrated insurance solutions for employee benefits advisors amid the newly-established Affordable Care Act. Through his career, Benantonio gained exceptional knowledge of group benefits and established partnerships with producers, insurance carriers and plan administrators. He brings that experience along with a dynamic workplace technology understanding to today’s clients.

In 2017, Benantonio was chosen to lead Sales and Marketing as its new VP and helped transition the company to its new name, csONE Benefit Solutions. When the company’s top executive retired at the end of 2019, Benantonio accepted his newest position as Chief Operating Officer and helped successfully guide csONE through a business-altering pandemic.

Today Benantonio oversees group life and disability distribution, consumer-driven health plans, compliance, benefits communication and evolving-enrollment technology. With a strong team of industry professionals with decades of combined experience, Benantonio heads a prominent company that is unique in the marketplace – as a general agency, third-party administrator and enrollment firm.

Benantonio holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Media Studies from the University of Southern Maine. In 2013, he received a Group Benefits Disability Specialist designation from the National Underwriter while studying at the Hartford School of Insurance in Princeton, New Jersey. He earned an honorary degree from the University of New Hampshire’s Leadership Consortium in 2016 and has served as a guest lecturer at Plymouth State University. In 2019, Benantonio earned a Registered Employee Benefits Consultant® designation from the National Association of Health Underwriters.

Benantonio resides in Dover, New Hampshire with his wife Concetta and their two young daughters, Aria and Eden. Benantonio and Concetta are also active sponsors of three children in Africa and Central America.

I would absolutely recommend csONE as a TPA for any District or employer. Having gone through a full year of working with a TPA that was unable to do the job successfully, csONE has been a true breath of fresh air and relief to the District as well as all our employees.
Amadee D. - District Manager
I really appreciate help that csONE has provided us. I just shared at a staff meeting how helpful everyone has been, and how easy it has been to communicate with everyone! Thanks again!
Lisa C. - Manager
Our thanks to you and your crew for all the amazing work being done to get us up and running on short notice! It is very much appreciated.
Lisa C. - Manager
Thank each of you for the hard work for our mutual client….This VB transition was well thought out and well executed and I really appreciate your hard work over a period of weeks and months.  A lot goes into a carrier change, especially when it involves one on one education and this team made it as seamless as possible.
Kristen - Benefits Broker
csONE is absolutely the best to work with! Great customer service. Kudos to your team.
Mardie W. - HR Manager
csONE service and competency is the best I have worked with. They are worth double the price paid to any other HRA provider. In my career, I have had to fire two other HRA providers mid-term for incompetency and csONE came to the rescue. With minimal stress they straightened out the past errors and made the process painless. I have one client who is offered free HRA services from an insurer and they insisted they stay with csONE.
Mike K. - Broker
You provide us, and all our employee’s with such great service. Thank you so much!
Missy P. - Benefits Coordinator
I want you to let you know how much I appreciate the excellent service you provided.  On a day that you were scheduled to be out of work, you took my call to your cell phone regarding a distraught employee who realized she had been scammed and compromised her csONE debit card. You had the card cancelled within 5 minutes! Outstanding customer service once again. Many thanks!
Maura S. - Benefit Specialist
Wow, time flies when you are having fun. Seriously, this has been a wonderful transition for us and really appreciate all you have done to to turn a difficult situation into a positive one.
