New Fliers Available for Blue Directions^SM for Small Business

Blue Directions for Small Business (BDSB), the game-changing online platform, makes it easy for producers to serve and support their small business clients by simplifying benefits program design, administration and employee plan elections.

New for 2016!
The Blue Directions Small Group and Retail Comparison flier provides features and benefits for all stakeholders, showing how BDSB makes it easier for employees to select the right coverage – group or individual.

Other highlights include:

• Small Group Network and Plans Comparison with Retail Networks and Plans
• Ancillary Products and Plans like dental, life, vision and more, for both small group and retail markets
• Texas map rating areas and counties for both market segments

The updated 2016 BDSB Step-by-Step Producer Guide helps producers quick start online business operations by performing key pre- and post-sales activities, including:

• Plan design and cost comparisons
• Design and contribution modeling of employee benefit programs for new business and renewals
• Employee and dependent enrollment
• Employee profile and status changes

For Employers and Employees
Download and distribute BDSB fliers created for employers and employees, too. The member flier outlines five easy steps to employee enrollment, while the employer flier shows how benefits are a powerful incentive to offer.

With BDSB, employers are able to cater to different types of employees, including full-time, part-time and seasonal. Like producers, employers using BDSB can reduce time with the new, end-to-end online paperwork process.
