Frequently asked questions
Ease scores F on the API Report Card. APIs exist only inside the EaseConnect+ partner program: an Evidence of Insurability API and a Member Benefits API used by carriers and payroll platforms. Employers and brokers cannot call them directly, and bulk enrollment data still moves as 834 EDI files with per-file fees.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Ease (formerly EaseCentral, operated by Enrollease Inc., San Francisco) is a cloud-based benefits administration and light-HR platform sold through insurance brokers to small and mid-sized employers.
Vertical: Benefits administration / HR for SMBs, distributed exclusively through insurance brokers and benefits agencies. Brokers set up the employer group in Ease (company info, eligibility rules, divisions, plan year), load medical/dental/vision/ancillary plans with rates and contribution strategies, and configure the open-enrollment flow.
Ease publicly reports 2,000+ agencies, 75,000+ businesses, and 2.5M+ employees on the platform, and post-acquisition the combined Employee Navigator + Ease footprint covers 150,000+ businesses, 4,000+ brokers, 300+ marketplace integrations, and 13M+ employees.
Yes, for any SMB running benefits through a broker on Ease, the platform is the system of record for the entire benefits and enrollment dataset: employee and dependent demographics, SSNs, dates of birth, addresses, employment status; medical/dental/vision/life/disability/voluntary plan elections with effective dates and tier; employer and employee contribution amounts and payroll deduction schedules; Evidence of Insurability questionnaire responses and outcomes; qualifying life event history; ACA 1094/1095-C eligibility tracking and forms; beneficiary designations; document acknowledgments (SBCs, plan summaries, notices); carrier 834 EDI feed status and reconciliation history; commission and renewal data on the broker side.
Founded in 2012 in San Francisco as EaseCentral by David Reid and Courtney Guertin; rebranded to Ease in 2019. Backed by Centana Growth Partners (lead investor) and Upfront Ventures, among others.
No self-serve public API or developer portal, programmatic access requires an EaseConnect+ partnership, gating most third-party integration work. EOI and Member Benefits APIs exist only for approved carrier and platform partners; employers and brokers cannot directly call them. Full sourced list under Sources below.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Ease API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Ease data. See the Ease integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/ease-api.
