For medical practices, a competitive 401(k) plan is crucial for attracting and retaining top talent. However, many practices find that their Ascensus plans have high fees and outdated fund options. These costs impact staff retirement outcomes and put physicians and owners at fiduciary risk. A benchmarking review provides the clarity and protection you need.

About Miami Lakes, Florida
Miami Lakes
Miami Lakes, officially the Town of Miami Lakes, is an incorporated town in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. The town is part of the Miami metropolitan area of South Florida. As of the 2020 census, the population was 30,467. The development was constructed by Sengra (now the Graham Companies) beginning in 1962 on land formerly owned by Florida state senator Ernest "Cap" Graham.
The Problem
Many practices use Ascensus through payroll or advisor relationships without fully understanding the actual costs.- Fees may be embedded in revenue-sharing arrangements, high-cost fund share classes, or administrative charges.
- These hidden costs decrease participant balances and increase fiduciary risk for the plan sponsor.
Why Benchmarking Matters
- Physicians and practice owners serving as fiduciaries must ensure that plan fees are reasonable.
- Benchmarking compares your Ascensus plan against peer practices, providing a defensible fiduciary process.
- Litigation has made it clear: even small and mid-sized practices can be held liable for excessive fees.
