bswift and GetInsured Debut Private Health Insurance Exchange Partnership

Proquest LLC

bswift has reported a partnership with GetInsured.

According to a release, GetInsured will provide employers who use the bswift Springboard Marketplace -- a cloud-based private health and benefits exchange -- with access to individual health insurance plans for employees who do not qualify for sponsored plans, including part-time workers, pre-65 retirees and those who are COBRA- eligible.

The GetInsured exchange seamlessly integrates with the bswift Springboard Marketplace, allowing employers to instantly offer those employees who are ineligible for group plans access to a broad array of ACA-compliant health insurance options as well as the ability to claim tax credits. Employees can shop for and enroll in a health insurance plan via a web or mobile shopping experience, or with the assistance of a licensed broker through the GetInsured customer care center, which can serve customers in more than 200 languages.

"Providing employees with access to affordable health insurance is shown to help employers recruit and retain talent, as well as foster loyalty and productivity among their employees," said Chini Krishnan, GetInsured co-founder and CEO. "Since our founding in 2005, GetInsured has been dedicated to helping Americans find health coverage that fits their needs and their budget. We are proud to help employers who recognize the vital role health insurance plays in employees' lives and well-being and we are pleased to be working with bswift to bring the GetInsured marketplace to more families."

"We understand that employers are looking for new ways to connect employees with affordable health insurance while also reducing their own costs," noted Don Garlitz, Executive Director, Exchange Solutions, bswift. "The addition of GetInsured's consumer-friendly technology and talented customer care team to the Springboard Marketplace will allow our clients to provide easy access to a range of products for every situation."

Based in Chicago, bswift offers software and services that streamline benefits, HR and payroll administration for employers and public and private exchanges nationwide.
