Key Capabilities
- Census in. Filed rates compared. Branded proposal out.
- Staff-backed exceptions when a case is not a clean file-and-rate.
- Small-group rates use the employer ZIP — where the group is based — not employee home ZIPs.
- Quotes enrolled lives.
- From a usable census file: first look within one business day, or a same-day note of what is missing.
- Messy or underwritten cases: same-day status, then a packet in 2–3 business days. That is a business-day turnaround, not a one-hour or nights-and-weekends promise.

- The public launch is quoting. Do not treat this listing as enrollment, benefits administration, or CRM.
- Turnaround is one business day for a first look from a usable census, or a same-day note of what is missing. Messy or underwritten cases get same-day status and a packet in 2–3 business days.
