eHealth Partners With Union Plus to Provide a Medicare Insurance Exchange and Distribute Medicare Insurance Products to America’s Unions

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Weekly News -- eHealth, Inc. (NASDAQ:EHTH), which operates eHealth.com, a leading private online health insurance exchange, announced that it has entered into a partnership with Union Plus, a program operated by Union Privilege, the member benefits arm of the AFL-CIO, America's largest labor federation with over 55 affiliated unions representing approximately 12.5 million members and retirees.

Through this partnership, eHealth will provide a Medicare insurance exchange online at www.unionplusmedicare.com and by phone at 888-680-4770. Through these channels, eHealth will distribute Medicare insurance products to members and retirees of the AFL-CIO-affiliated unions that elect to participate in the Union Plus Retiree Health Insurance program.

Union Plus Retiree Health Insurance aims to improve retiree healthcare for its members so that they have more coverage options.

"Union Plus is committed to educating retiring and retired members about the Medicare options that are available to them," Union Plus CEO Mitch Stevens said. "We selected eHealth because of their ability to offer a wide range of products nationwide and to help members find and purchase the Medicare coverage that best fits their needs and financial situations."

Union Plus selected eHealth following a robust search and RFP process that involved more than a dozen insurance carriers and healthcare exchanges. eHealth was selected to manage the Union Plus Retiree Health Insurance program because of eHealth's range of products and its excellent customer support.

eHealth's national private health insurance exchange has offered assistance to millions of Americans seeking Medicare health coverage since 2009. eHealth's unique blend of educational resources, online comparison tools, and highly rated customer care teams provide a uniquely comprehensive service offering available to help Medicare-eligible persons navigate their Medicare health insurance options and choose the right plan.

The partnership is designed to give union members and retirees access to eHealth's world-class, U.S.-based customer care team (which consistently earns a Net Promoter Score above 70), as well as eHealth's online plan comparison tools to help them choose from the massive inventory of Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans available through eHealthMedicare.com.
