The Stratford Financial Group is one of New Jersey and New York's leading insurance consulting and brokerage firms. We specialize in employee benefits such as group medical insurance, dental, life, accident, short term disability, long term disability, long-term care, vision and other group insurance programs. We have been early adopters of the strategy of consumer directed healthcare. By linking up two specific healthcare components we have been able to reduce company healthcare costs without reducing benefits or increasing employee contributions for our clients.
