HEALTH INSURANCE

Group Health Insurance

Many companies offer group health insurance and benefits as a perk for their employees. Offering group health leads to higher company morale, productivity and employee retention. Group health insurance allows employees to enroll under a health plan offered by a business.

Under a group health insurance plan, the employer covers part of the cost of the insurance plan and the employees are responsible for paying the remaining amount. Starting 2014, most people will be required to have a health insurance plan or pay a penalty, furthermore groups of 50 or more full time workers will be required to offer group health insurance or pay a penalty.

Why Group Health Insurance?

  • Employees are exempt from paying income tax on employer-sponsored group health insurance benefits.
  • Group health insurance plans offer additional benefits to their participants as compared to an individual health care plan. Many plans offer additional coverage, such as coverage for vision and dental work.
  • Group health insurance makes health care coverage more affordable for employees. Group insurance plans cost less per person than individual health care policies. Additionally, employers subsidize the cost of the policy, thereby reducing the employee’s financial burden.

Why Group Benefits?

Group benefits can include Vision, Dental, Accident and Critical Illness and Supplemental Health and Disability policies. These plans can be offered in a employer sponsored basis (company pays a portion and employee the difference) or on a voluntary basis (employees pay full share of plan themselves). Many of these benefits are not available to the individual market and those that are enjoy considerable discount in a group setting.
