ConnectedHealth provides an exchange platform for active employees (as opposed to retirees). They focus on helping employees understand what’s available to them and the full financial consequences of their decisions. Their platform is designed to serve companies who may have a mix of employees: group eligible (i.e., full time, permanent workers), part-time employees, and 1099 independent contractors. Employers are offering the platform in order to attract and retain employees and to help those employees make the most of their benefits and avoid surprises.
