Word & Brown Signs New Large Group Contract with UnitedHealthcare

Business Wire

ORANGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Word & Brown General Agency has been awarded a new large group contract by UnitedHealthcare, which allows the general agency to write health and other insurance coverage for groups of 101 or more employees. The new agreement enables Word & Brown’s statewide network of health insurance brokers to offer UnitedHealthcare employee benefits to large groups in California effective April 1, 2018.

“We are very excited about our new agreement with UnitedHealthcare and look forward to helping our brokers expand their work with large groups in the state,” said Jessica Word, president of Word & Brown. “Word & Brown is among the largest general agencies and this new agreement allows us to continue to broaden our large group portfolio. It’s a great opportunity for us – and for our brokers.”

The new large group contract further expands Word & Brown’s roster of leading health insurers serving employers and workers across California, and it makes it easier for brokers because they now have access to more of the state’s and region’s premier carriers through one general agency.
