Small businesses are the heart of our Western New York community—and at Univera Healthcare, we understand the challenges they’re facing. Rising healthcare costs, coverage changes, and provider shortages can feel overwhelming. But they don’t have to face it alone.
We’re right here to help our broker partners and their clients navigate these changes with care and clarity. Whether it’s through wellness programs, personalized support, or resources like preventive care and tier 1 drugs at no cost, we’re committed to helping you offer meaningful benefits to your clients while keeping an eye on affordability.
2026 Open Enrollment tools—including the Product Guide and Q1 At-A-Glance Brochures—are now available, with more to come. We look forward to helping make this season a smooth one for small businesses and their employees.
