Large Group sales (groups of 101+ in California and 50+ in Nevada) can seem daunting. They represent additional work due to more people and increased paperwork to process, longer and larger enrollment meetings, and/or implementation of unfamiliar online enrollment technology.
However, Large Groups also represent more potential earnings for you – and you can write these groups with help from Word & Brown. We’ll work with you – from start to finish – helping you find, present, and close more Large Group cases.
Even if you’ve never written a Large Group in the past, we have the Large Group expertise you need.
If you’re a California broker, you’ll be glad to know we have Large Group contracts with four of California’s biggest insurers: Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Kaiser Permanente, and UnitedHealthcare. Our agreements with three of these California carriers allow us to help brokers write groups of 101 or more employees statewide. Our Kaiser Permanente agreement gives brokers in the Fresno and San Diego areas the opportunity to write 101+ groups through us. If you’re looking for coverage from another carrier, we have the resources and connections you need to put together a winning proposal.
If your focus is Nevada, you can count on our experience to help you there, too.
