Major California Health Carriers

What exactly does "major carrier" mean and why is this important?

There are probably a dozen carriers that you can choose from on the California market but we purposely narrowed it down to 4-5 on the individual family market and 10+ on the group market to mirror the reality out there in the market.

These are the carriers that have a strong track record in the respective market and that's important.

We have a California major carrier comparison here.

Avoiding the bad carriers

We get calls almost daily from a person who has a second tier (or even third or fourth) carrier and they're running into major issues with sizeable claims.

That's a bad place to be and we want to do everything we can to help our clients avoid this situation.

We also get the calls from clients who purchased a very inexpensive California health policy only to see it explode in costs later.

A good percentage of these people are unable to change carriers due to health issues so we have a bad situation there.

What Makes a Big Carrier

We look for carriers that have a wide benefits breadth (many plans to choose from with PPO, HMO, and HSA options), good and stable (key point there!) pricing over a period of 3-5 years, and a strong provider network.

It doesn't help you to have cheap California health insurance that only works with a few doctors in your area.

Based on these criteria, we have chosen the plans to quote in our engine.
