QUOTING
We offer both desktop and mobile quoting platforms, allowing you to deliver a customized quote wherever you and your clients may be.

WBQuote Lite allows you to quote on your mobile device. It lets you say goodbye to running back to the office to re-run a quote because a client made a census mistake or hired a new employee. With WBQuote Lite, you can run a quote to match your client’s needs . . . no matter where you are.

Your customers can also use the app to schedule an in-office or in-home doctor’s visit at a cost of $99 or less. Members with PPO coverage from Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, or Blue Shield of California pay only the health plan co-pay.
