Comprehensive employee benefit solutions for small businesses

Medical

Group health insurance, compared across every major California carrier.

We shop and compare HMO, PPO and HSA-qualified plans from Kaiser, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna and Cigna, plus Covered California for Small Business and CalChoice. We help you set an employer contribution strategy that fits your budget, benchmark your plan at every renewal, and support your employees with claims and billing year-round.

ICHRA

A flexible alternative to a traditional group plan.

With an Individual Coverage HRA, you give employees a set monthly allowance, tax-free, to buy their own individual health plan. Allowances can vary by employee class. ICHRA is a strong fit for small teams, employers with staff in multiple states, and companies that want predictable costs. We handle the design, setup and employee enrollment.

ACA compliance and reporting, Section 125 premium-only plans, HSA and FSA setup, COBRA administration, and open enrollment support. Through our partners, we also connect clients with 401(k), payroll and commuter benefits providers.
