TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — After an exhaustive search, Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: HIIQ) announced today it has selected GetInsured’s proprietary broker platform to enable re-entry into Affordable Care Act (ACA) enrollments. HIIQ is a market leading cloud-based technology platform and distributor of innovative health insurance products that are affordable and meet the consumer’s needs.
The partnership with GetInsured allows Health Insurance Innovations to service subsidy-eligible customers where it could not previously.
“Simplicity and innovation are two key drivers in everything we do,” said Gavin D. Southwell, HIIQ’s CEO and President. “GetInsured is a leader in the ACA enrollment market with powerful technology and intuitive broker tools.”
