Initial  quotes for the Blue Balance Funded program are now available online via the eSales Tools for groups with 10-50 enrolled employees. However, groups with 51-100 employees will need to request a Blue Balance Funded program quote from their sales executive since it will be provided by Underwriting.

Blue Balance Funded is an Administrative Services Only suite of services available to employer groups with as few as 10 enrolled employees*, featuring administrative services, stop loss policy, claims adjudication and predictable monthly payments.**
