When it comes to providing health benefits for employees, employers and HR professionals have a wide range of options to consider. Group health insurance can be a complex decision, and our local agents recognize that one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work for everyone. In the following section, we’ll explore the different types of group coverage available for employers to choose from.

Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA): These are a trending group plan option that many employers are choosing. They are a great way to provide your employees with health insurance while managing what it costs you to provide it.

Small group fully insured ACA plans (2-50 employees): Employers can offer employees health coverage with no medical underwriting and no pre-existing conditions all while offering a nationwide network (in most cases). The employer must pay at least 50% of the employee’s monthly premium and meet participation requirements based on the carrier guidelines. 

Small group level funded (10-50 employees): Level funded plans are different from traditional insurance plans because they are not community rated and can potentially lower a group’s fixed costs if the group qualifies.

By offering group health insurance, not only are you attracting top talent to your business, but you’re also helping retain it!
