Finding the right health insurance for your small business can be overwhelming, especially with many available options. That’s where 2025 California Choice Group Health Insurance comes in. This program allows business owners to provide employees with multiple health plan options—without increasing costs. Whether your team prefers an HMO, PPO, or an HSA-compatible plan, California Choice makes it easy to customize benefits for each employee.
As a leading California Choice group health insurance broker, Skyline Benefit helps small businesses navigate these options and find the best plans to fit their budget and workforce needs.
What is California Choice (Cal Choice) Group Health Insurance?
California Choice is a private health insurance exchange that allows small businesses to offer employees coverage from multiple top-tier carriers in one streamlined program. Instead of choosing a single insurance provider, employers can give employees the flexibility to select from different major health insurance companies, each with different coverage levels and price points.
This means your team members can pick the best plan for them while you maintain control over costs.
Which Insurance Companies Partner with Cal Choice?
As of 2025, California Choice partners with these leading health insurance providers, offering year-round enrollment:
- Anthem Blue Cross
- Cigna + Oscar
- Health Net
- Kaiser Permanente
- Sharp Health Plan
- Sutter Health Plus
- UnitedHealthcare
- Western Health Advantage
With these options, employees can compare HMO, PPO, EPO, and HSA-compatible plans to find the right balance of cost and coverage.
Who is Eligible for 2025 California Choice Group Health Insurance?
Small businesses in California can qualify for California Choice Group Health Insurance if they meet the following requirements:
- At least one full-time employee (not the owner or spouse) who has worked at least 50% of the previous calendar quarter.

Why Choose 2025 California Choice Group Health Insurance?
1. More Choices, Better Employee Satisfaction
Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all plan, employees can customize their coverage by selecting the provider and plan tier (Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum) that suits their needs.
2. Cost Control for Employers
Employers set a fixed contribution amount, and employees use that contribution to choose their preferred health plan. You maintain budget predictability, while employees get more plan options.
3. Additional Benefits: Dental, Vision & More
Beyond medical coverage, California Choice provides discounts on dental, vision, chiropractic, acupuncture, and life insurance benefits.
4. One Simple Bill
Even if employees select different providers, California Choice consolidates everything into a single, itemized monthly bill, making administration easy.
5. No Extra Cost for Business Solutions
Employers also gain access to valuable business solutions at no additional cost, including:
- Pre-tax premium deductions with a free Premium Only Plan (POP)
