Ease Intake Form: Be sure you are always using the most current Word & Brown Intake Form for cases you’re setting up in Ease. Download the form and instructions now.
 
The Marketplace Minute: Stay up to date and read what’s new with Ease’s Marketplace partners. Dive into the latest and greatest that can help you make the best and most-informed decisions for your clients.
 
Employee Navigator & Ease Integration Updates: Updates on the Ease acquisition – including migration tools, features moving to Employee Navigator, FAQs, and more – are available online.
 
United Pet Care: We’ve often heard employees don’t want pet insurance. Just 2% of employees participate in pet insurance, despite 70% of employees saving they WANT pet benefits. That’s why United Pet Care is NOT pet insurance. It’s a pet health care plan that works for every pet – with no exceptions. Unlike insurance, United Pet Care falls in the top two voluntary plans, with a 24% participation rate in 2022. Offer a benefit that employees want. Access the United Pet Care webinar online.
