As a small business owner, the many hats you switch on and off throughout your workday make for keeping track and managing operations difficult. A new responsibility frequently emerges, and there is little room left in your closet to squeeze in another fedora (task). Constantly on the search for a way to help our readership tackle their to-do list with a higher efficiency, we have discovered UnitedHealthcare’s progressive new website. Along with their new website, they are offering a $50 Amazon Gift Card for one lucky reader. See below for details.
Searching for proper health plan coverage is one of many on the list of essential business fundamentals to attend to, in order to protect your business from risk and support your employees. UnitedHealthcare has stepped up with a viable solution in support of our small business community and we believe our Home Business Magazine readers would benefit from switching to or joining one of their plans.
UnitedHealthcare now offers a streamlined medium to search for and purchase health plan coverage. Instead of scrolling through website after website, opening fifteen tabs to compare and contrast plans, only to soon have your head buzz with confusion at the convoluted descriptions many healthcare sites offer, UnitedHealthcare’s new online site makes solving the healthcare enigma simple. No more pushing off healthcare to another day to prioritize day-to-day tasks. Health insurance is immensely important for your small business and UnitedHealthcare’s unique, one-of-a-kind online shopping experience gives small businesses a simpler, easy-to-use, self-serve environment.
Specifically for small businesses with 2-50 employees, the site is currently available in 15 states with more to come in 2017.* To break it down, here are the three main functions of UnitedHealthcare’s helpful platform. Business owners can:
- Shop and compare multiple plans based on location and number of employees.
- Get customized quotes and real pricing/rates that take employee age ranges and families into consideration.
- Purchase plans online.
What makes this site particularly ideal for small business owners is the variety of plans that you can now offer your employees through UnitedHealthcare. Now you can present a choice of two or more plans, and believe it or not, up to 27 plans in some states. Utilizing this new site can be a key selling factor when convincing top talent interviewees to join your company.
Small business owners can easily attain health plan coverage with the step-by-step online buying process. The site displays how-to’s and videos to further simplify the shopping experience. We’ll touch on each step later in this article.
A key highlight of the site is the Employee Fit Finder/Personal tool, which launches soon in December. Once a small business owner selects and purchases their plan package, they can direct their employees to the login page and have them decide what plan fits best for them. Instead of a strict one-format coverage for all employees, regardless of their diversities in ages, demographics, interests, personal medical issues, and fitness goals, UnitedHealthcare presents a guided experience that includes questions about each person’s specific lifestyle and persona.
Employees can factor in costs and coverage requirements based on what fits their singular situation and choose from a wide array of options. It’s a win-win, making your life as a business owner easier and benefitting your employees, who will in turn appreciate the valuable benefits received and work hard for your company.
Save time and effort by considering UnitedHealthcare’s standout small business health plan coverage, unlike anything currently offered by a health insurance company today. Tackling the health plan dilemma in a speedy fashion can free you up to focus on your main goal: developing your product or service to its highest quality, turning labor into profits, and striving to best serve your customers.
