The Massachusetts Health Connector has launched a website dedicated to health plan shopping for small business owners and employees, the state health insurance exchange announced Tuesday.
Health Connector for Business will deliver new tools and benefits to brokers, employers and employees, making it easier to manage a company’s health insurance offering and delivering new options to businesses and employees, the Connector said in a statement.
The platform was developed in partnership with Health Benefit Exchange Authority, the health insurance exchange in Washington, D.C. The Health Connector uses a separate branch of D.C. exchange’s online platform to improve offerings to small businesses and their employees, while reducing long-term operational costs for the small-group online system.
The first phase launched Tuesday includes access to plans from three carriers: Boston Medical Center Health Plan; Fallon Health; and Health New England. Businesses renewing coverage this fall will transfer to the new system, and new groups can use the system to select plans from those carriers.
In November, additional carriers will be added, along with the opportunity for employers to provide choice options to their employees for new enrollments and renewals starting Jan. 1.
