Small Business Health Insurance
Small Business Health Insurance is
designed for employers with at least 2 but not more than 50
total employees. The benefits of a group health plan
include
1) Savings on personal health care costs
2) Tax savings advantages and,
3) Increased job satisfaction within your
company.
How does small business health
insurance work?
A small business health insurance plan
provides its members with a set of health benefits with
rates calculated using the data about the organization
and individuals themselves. Employees typically can add
riders and additional coverage to fit their specific needs,
but the basic policy format remains intact.
Although small business health insurance comes in a variety
of shapes and sizes (fee-for-service,
HMO, PPO,
POS), the format that's chosen will
apply to all members.
Rate calculations vary both from state to state and
from company to company, the cost of a group health
insurance plan is based on the characteristics of each
member, including: Age, health status, occupational
hazard, and business location
Employees of a business that offers small business health
insurance are not required to join the health plan, however
the group must maintain a minimum number of insured to
guarantee coverage.
