HEALTH PLAN ONE ANNOUNCES FREE QUOTING TOOLS
TO SUPPORT HEALTH INSURANCE BROKERS

SHELTON, CONN. (June 16, 2009) – Health Plan One, a licensed general agent in the online health insurance market, announced today that it would allow independent health insurance brokers and small insurance offices to install its health insurance and Medicare quoting tools on their web sites at no cost. The tools will help brokers simplify and enhance the quoting and enrollment process for individuals, families, and seniors.

The quoting tools provide quick and easy access to prices and details on health insurance plans across the country from all the major health insurance carriers, including Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare and others. The tools allow brokers to offer greater levels of functionality and customer support without the need for significant investment in resources and technology. Using the quoting tools, brokers can quickly create spreadsheets, download health plan brochures and e-mail plan options to clients. Brokers also have the option to use Health Plan One as their general agent.

“As more individuals are buying health insurance directly for themselves and their families for the first time, the role of the insurance broker becomes ever more important,” says Bill Stapleton, president and CEO of Health Plan One. “However, many independent agency and small insurance offices do not have the technology or the staff to effectively help individuals through this significant financial decision. Through this collaboration, brokers get the tools they need to help consumers make an educated investment in health care coverage and to help them compete in this newly expanding market.”

“The quoting tool enables me to research plans and create spreadsheets in seconds, while giving my clients the option to do independent research on my web site,” reports John Carl of Insurance Solutions LLC (http://www.ineedaplan.com/), an independent agent in Fairfield, Conn., who has been using the quoting tools. “The tool has been a huge time saver for me, and allows me to spend more time working with clients one-on-one to finalize the decision and enrollment process.”
