The IHC Group Offers INSXCloud Broker Platform to Quote and Directly Enroll Obamacare Plans and Ancillary Health Insurance Products on the Federal Marketplace

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) September 28, 2016

The IHC Group (IHC) today announced a strategic distribution alliance with INSXCloud, making IHC's ancillary products available on the INSXCloud Broker Platform, a Web Based Entity (WBE) enrollment site.

WBEs are certified by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and play a crucial role in connecting consumers to the federally facilitated marketplace. Based in Akron, Ohio, INSXCloud allows insurance producers and brokers to easily quote, and enroll clients directly onto healthcare.gov and track their applications.

The platform also enables client management when there is a qualifying event resulting in a special enrollment period. Additionally, INSXCloud provides health insurance comparison tools to identify the best value for the enrollee, as well as Affordable Care Act calculators to help estimate premium subsidy, tax penalty and health plan affordability.

"We realize that this open enrollment will be challenging for producers and consumers, due to the higher costs anticipated on individual ACA plans, and the lack of competition in many markets," said Dave Keller, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for IHC Specialty Benefits. "We are excited to partner with INSXCloud to offer our individual ancillary products which can lessen the financial impact of the high out-of- pocket limits associated with Obamacare plans"

IHC will offer INSXCloud access to producers working with its subsidiary, IHC Specialty Benefits. IHC's ancillary products that will be available through INSXCloud include individual dental, gap, telemedicine and association plans.

"From day one, it has been our objective at INSXCloud to provide brokers with the tools they need to increase efficiency and help them grow their business," remarked Scott Klonowski, Chief Executive Officer of INSXCloud. "IHC is the perfect partner for us to further our mission. The integration of IHC's best-in-class individual ancillary offerings with our Platform will empower brokers to increase sales, create additional revenue streams, and provide additional value to their customer base."
