Which Plan is Right for your Business?

Group health insurance plans typically include either indemnity plans, such as Fee-for-Service (FFS), or managed care plans, including: Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), and Point-of Service (POS).

The major difference between Indemnity and managed care plans is the types of providers, choices of doctors and physicians, out of pocket expenses, and medical bill payments.

What Is Group Health Insurance?  
Group health insurance is an employer-sponsored medical insurance policy for employees. This coverage provides health insurance to members at a lower cost than if obtained individually due to the risk spread across multiple members of a group health plan.  

Is Group Health Insurance Required?   
Group health insurance is not required for small businesses. If you’re a small business (fewer than 50 employees) and choose not to offer group health insurance, you will not be punished under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).  

How Does Group Health Insurance Work?  
A business can buy a group health plan to provide medical coverage to its employees. Enrolling in group health insurance requires at least one full-time employee in addition to yourself, the business owner. Only groups can enroll in this plan, not individuals.  

Who Is Eligible for Coverage?  
If an employer offers coverage to any full-time employees, it generally must be offered to all full-time employees. The employer has the option to provide plans for part-time employees as well, but if coverage is offered to any part-time employee, then all of them must be offered coverage. Any eligible employee can’t be denied coverage based on preexisting conditions. 

In addition, any dependents of eligible employees are generally qualified for insurance under a group plan. Dependents typically include spouses and children but cannot get coverage unless the employee has enrolled. Under the ACA, group insurance plans must extend insurance protection to adult dependents through age 26.
