DALLAS, Sept. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BenefitMall, the leading provider of employee benefits and payroll services, announces that finalized its General Agency contract with Covered California for Small Business, a state health insurance exchange that makes health insurance more affordable and accessible for small businesses and individuals. This contract will allow BenefitMall to offer Covered California for Small Business, via its large network of insurance professionals, as a health coverage option to small businesses across the state.

"We are pleased to announce our partnership with Covered California for Small Business," said Casey Allen, Southern California market director for BenefitMall. "We believe our distribution support will aid Covered California as it works to improve the health of Small Businesses in California through affordable, high-quality healthcare."

Covered California strives to increase the number of insured Californians through its quality, affordable insurance offerings. Business owners with 100 or fewer employees can apply for health insurance coverage through Covered California for Small Businesses.
