Mercer MarketplaceSM to expand its core offerings by providing ‘one click’ access for consumers of all types
New service will allow Mercer Marketplace to offer benefits that meet the diverse needs of an employer’s entire workforce, including part-time employees
 
New York, March 25, 2014
Mercer, a subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies, today announced that employers who join Mercer MarketplaceSM, the market-leading private exchange, will now have an option to offer easy access to individual medical plans both outside of and on the public exchanges for their employees and retirees who do not qualify for sponsored plans.
 
Mercer Marketplace, which launched in 2013, currently works with 67 employers to provide medical and other benefits to 282,000 employees, retirees, and family members.
 
“Most employers don’t have a single, uniform workforce, but a collection of different groups – including part-timers and retirees, each with a very different set of benefit needs,” said Julio A Portalatin, Mercer’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Now, Mercer Marketplace can meet all of these needs through a single point of access. This expanded reach is part of Mercer’s commitment to ensuring that all Americans have easy access to the best insurance products available on the market today.”
 
Access to individual medical plans both on and off the public exchanges will be provided by GetInsured, a California-based private company whose technology platform powers state government exchanges and is a federal web-based entity.
