California’s Private Health Insurance Exchange Extending Reach of Online Enrollment to Small Businesses

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Managed Care Weekly Digest -- CHOICE Administrators announced it has integrated its CaliforniaChoice small business private exchange online enrollment platform with health insurance quoting tools from Word & Brown General Agency and Limelight Health, streamlining the enrollment process for small businesses (see also CaliforniaChoice).

Brokers quoting through Limelight Health's Quotepad system or Word & Brown's WBQuote can now start a CaliforniaChoice online enrollment with just a click of a button. Information from the quote is transferred directly into the online enrollment platform at www.calchoice.com. The integration reduces the need for brokers to re-enter information during online enrollment, helping simplify the entire enrollment process. Brokers also have the option to quote and enroll small business directly at www.calchoice.com.

"We will continue to look for ways to evolve how we communicate and share information with our partners with the goal of providing a better experience for our customers," said Ron Goldstein, president and chief executive officer at CHOICE Administrators. Kevin Timone, chief sales officer at CHOICE Administrators, added, "We look forward to integrating our online enrollment platform with all of our distribution partners, so we can help more brokers and employers expedite their health insurance benefits enrollment."

CaliforniaChoice's online enrollment gives brokers and employers insight into an active enrollment and highlights those employees who have completed their benefits selection and which employees have not. It also helps solve for missing information by requiring specific employee input before completing an enrollment, helping expedite the approval process.
