  1. Step 1

    Decide if you want to offer a specific plan type, such as an HMO, or provide your employees with several options. Most health insurance companies can give you quotes for HMOs, PPOs and Major Medical plans.

  2. Step 2

    Use NetQuote. The company has been in business since 1989 and provides free group health insurance quotes in all 50 states. NetQuote works with top level health insurance companies such as Kaiser Permanente, Aetna, AllState and more. Call NetQuote at (800) 795-2886 or get a free quote online. You will need to provide NetQuote with details about your business, including number of employees and current policy information.

  3. Step 3

    Get additional quotes from InsuranceTracker. Fill out a quote request application online, and InsuranceTracker will connect you with health insurance companies who will provide you with quotes.

  4. Step 4

    Contact major health insurance companies directly. Research online and find the phone numbers for the major health insurance providers in your state. Most group health insurance companies will provide you with a free quote by telephone or direct mail.

  5. Step 5

    Ask other business owners in your field about their insurance company. You can get some of the best advice and leads for finding group health insurance from networking with other businesses and competitors. They will also be able to tell you which insurance companies to steer clear of.
