Underwriting Update
Effective October 1, 2025, Sharp Health Plan has enhanced their underwriting guidelines to allow multi-network access for groups as small as 2 enrolled (previously only available to groups with 6+ enrolled). Groups 2-5 enrolled may now offer 2 plans and 2 networks (previously 1 network).
With this change, groups with 1 enrolled will be limited to a single plan option.
Broker Incentive Program
With some of the lowest small group rates in the market, Sharp is making it easy for San Diegans to get the high-quality care and service they deserve. You deserve the best too — and you can earn more with their new broker bonus program. See the bonus flyer for full details.
