Use this worksheet to organize a conversation with Bloom. Keep employee names, medical information and account details off this sheet.

  1. Which states does your team work in, and about how many employees do you have?
  2. Which benefits do you offer today, and when do they renew?
  3. Which benefits would you like to explore: health, life, dental, vision, disability, accident or wellness?
  4. What budget range and employee contribution approach would you like to discuss?
  5. What questions or access problems are employees bringing to you?
  6. Who will coordinate benefits decisions and employee communications?

A planning worksheet is not an application, quote or commitment to coverage. Availability and terms depend on the employer, state and applicable plan.
