Benefits That Work
In today’s tight labor market, finding and retaining quality employees often depends on the quality of the benefits being offered by competing employers. Furthermore, it costs thousands of dollars to recruit and train new employees, while vaccines stress out your existing workforce.
Rockridge Health Benefits is more than just an insurance agency. In addition to partnering with you to offer high-quality, affordable health benefits, we provide a wide range of support services to help you with HR management and compliance – at no additional cost to you.
When a company offers group health benefits, it is paying thousands of dollars in annual broker commissions via its monthly premium payments. At Rockridge Health Benefits, our promise is that you’ll feel like you got more than your money’s worth.
We represent all the major health insurance carriers in California, including Blue Shield, Anthem Blue Cross, Health Net, Aetna, UHC, Kaiser, Covered CA for Small Business, Delta Dental and VSP.

Covered California for Small Business Programs
One of the most popular options for small business employers is Covered California’s Small Business Exchange (CCSB, aka SHOP).
When you offer benefits through CCSB, you can offer a combined HMO/PPO program that can save as much as 20% on your healthcare costs. You offer to pay a fixed portion of the cost of a high-quality HMO plan, but your employees have the option to upgrade to a PPO plan at an additional expense. This gives you a fixed annual cost and keeps annual increases to a minimum.
If you have fewer than 25 employees and they earn an average of $50,000/year or less, you may also qualify for federal tax credits that help offset as much as 50% of the cost of benefits.
