New Intuit Insurance Services Health Benefits Center Offers Welcome Help

California Focus. Intuit has created an online Health Benefits Center for small businesses that want to learn more about group healthcare insurance options and find affordable plans for their employees. Currently the site focuses on the many small businesses in California.

Who Qualifies? While each carrier has specific eligibility requirements (see them on the website), in general, employers need to have at least two W2 employees (can include the owner) to enroll in one of the plans being offered.

No Pressure – Information When You Want It

Learn about Group Health Insurance Options. The Intuit Health Benefits Center helps business owners get answers to their questions on

• The Basics — how to understand group health insurance.
• Eligibility — whether their companies are eligible.
• Benchmarking — what other businesses like theirs are choosing (and how much they are paying).

Small business owners can also read useful tips about how to buy a plan and get advice on which type of plan may be best for their business.

Shop for Plans. Business owners can evaluate and compare some of the most affordable PPO, HMO, and HSA-compatible plans from Blue Shield of California, Kaiser Permanente, and Anthem.

No Pressure. Business owners can enter just a few basic facts about their business into the website’s quoting tool to get a free, no obligations quote. Unlike most websites, the Intuit site does not require them to provide contact information before they can get a quote. At any time, business owners can contact an Intuit Alliance Broker who can answer questions, or help them finalize their decision and enroll.
