SimplyInsured Say see
ya to traditional brokers.
Here's how Vivek Shah, the
co-founder of SimplyInsured,
describes the online insurance
solution for small businesses:
"After working with major insurance companies out of college, I
came to a couple of realizations.
First, jargon-heavy plans are
designed to be somewhat confusing to consumers. Second, small
business owners could only buy
health insurance through a broker. SimplyInsured solves both
problems by translating tricky
legalese and digitizing the entire
process. Enter a few pieces of
information about your company
on our site, and we'll send you an
instant quote, compiled using an
algorithm that scans all the plans

in your particular state. Only
those options that represent the
best fit show up, and each is given
a green, yellow, or red rating
based on whether it falls into the
top 20 percent, the middle 60 percent, or the bottom 20 percent of
plans in cost categories like doctor
visits, prescription medication,
and hospital care. You'll also see
a side-by-side comparison of outof-pocket cost estimates for 15 of
the most common medical procedures. If you elect to go with one of
the options in the quote, you can
sign up through SimplyInsured
and manage all the paperwork
and administrative tasks directly
through the site. We're currently
in California, Texas, and New
York, and plan to go nationwide by
mid-2014." simplyinsured.com

Champions of
the BYOD trend,
which seeks to
capitalize on
the ubiquity of

it will lower IT

it poses a substantial corporate
security threat.
