About DiCesare & Associates, Inc.
DiCesare & Associates, Inc. appears to be a professional services and management consulting company based in Rochester, New York, associated with employee benefits, HR, and related financial administration. Business directories list it under management and technical consulting services, while partner documentation from Optima Benefits and Payroll shows that DiCesare & Associates is used as the billing entity for benefits and HR-related services. In practice, this means they function as the behind‑the‑scenes company handling premium and service debits for employers and benefits administrators.
A charge labeled “DICESARE AND ASS” or “DiCesare and Associates” on a bank or card statement is most commonly tied to recurring premium payments or HR/benefits services set up through an employer or via Optima Benefits and Payroll’s enrollment portal. Enrollment materials explicitly state that employee premium deductions and related charges will appear on statements under the name “DiCesare and Associates,” and that amounts can vary over time due to age‑based premium adjustments, benefit changes, or dependent modifications. These are typically authorized, recurring ACH or card debits that occur on a set schedule (often around the first of the month) for health, dental, vision, or other voluntary benefits coverage.
If you are unsure about a DiCesare & Associates charge, first review any recent benefits enrollment or changes made through your employer, HR portal, or Optima Benefits and Payroll. Compare the date and amount of the charge to your enrollment confirmation or pay‑roll/benefits documents. For questions, employees are generally instructed to contact the benefits administrator shown on their enrollment paperwork (commonly Optima Benefits and Payroll at their Rochester, NY office or via email) to confirm the charge, adjust coverage, or cancel future payments. If you do not recognize the transaction and cannot match it to any benefits or HR service, contact your bank or card issuer promptly to dispute the charge and monitor your accounts for additional unauthorized activity.
