Survey after survey shows that health insurance is a top priority for employees when it comes to workplace benefits. In fact, Indeed found that health insurance was the number one benefit mentioned by companies posting jobs on its site in 2023. Clearly, providing health insurance isn’t just a perk—it’s a must for attracting top talent.
By offering CaliforniaChoice to your employees, you’re giving them what they want—more choice and flexibility. Unlike other health programs, CaliforniaChoice allows employees to choose from a variety of health plans and numerous coverage options. This means they can find the perfect plan to meet their individual or family health care needs. Plus, it’s a smart way for you to keep employee benefits costs in check.
But employees are looking for more than just health insurance. They’re also interested in ancillary and supplemental coverage—plus a variety of other benefits, too.
Dental insurance was fourth in Indeed’s ranking of sought-after employee benefits. But, while many businesses offer dental insurance, 10% of small businesses do not.
If you don’t offer standalone dental insurance, that’s okay. You can still offer dental benefits to employees as part of the CaliforniaChoice Member Value Suite.
At no cost to your business, it gives your employees access to reduced-fee services through the Dentegra® Smile Club. Employees can visit one of 28,000+ dentists and take advantage of hundreds of dental procedures at lower member prices. Discounts average 15-50% (based on 2021 Dentegra fee information and benchmark data by FAIR Health).
Vision insurance ranks fifth among the most-desired employee benefits. It’s included in about one-third (31%) of Indeed listings. The Member Value Suite can help here, too. Discounts are available on frames, lenses, and eye exams through the EyeMed Vision Eyecare program. Employees can visit LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, and Target Optical locations plus professionals in the EyeMed Independent Provider Network.
Indeed says employees also value discount programs like the Cal Perks program in your CaliforniaChoice Member Value Suite. Cal Perks offers savings on:
- Entertainment: Score deals on movie tickets, theme parks, zoos, aquariums, and more.
- Sports, Travel, & Events: Save big on sporting events, hotels, rental cars, holiday shows, food delivery, and museums.
- Wellness Deals: Get discounts on fitness and wellness favorites from FitBit, Echelon, Garmin, Vitamix, and more.
- Prescription Savings: The California Rx Card can deliver savings of up to 80% on prescriptions, often making it cheaper than your health insurance copay.

Employees appreciate Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), too, FSAs rank 15th with Indeed job posters. These allow employees to set aside money on a pre-tax basis to pay for eligible medical expenses. That includes copays, deductibles, and prescriptions. A no-cost FSA is available to you and your employees through the CaliforniaChoice Business Solutions Suite. Contact CaliforniaChoice Customer Service at 800-558-8003 or send an email to CustomerService@CalChoice.com to learn more.
A Wellness program isn’t just a perk; it’s a game-changer for employees. Ranked 30th on Indeed’s list of top job benefits, these programs boost both physical and mental health. CaliforniaChoice leads the way with most of its participating health plans offering these wellness benefits. Plus, you’ll find even more perks, like discounts on wellness services, through the Member Value Suite. Stay healthy and happy with a little extra support from your workplace!
