Benefits of Offering Group Health Insurance

The major benefit of offering quality group health insurance is that it can become a recruitment tool and a key competitive advantage in your industry. It's easier to both attract and retain top talent if you're offering high-quality coverage, even if you can't necessarily offer them a higher base salary than your competitors.



Not only that but when employees have access to healthcare, they tend to use it for things like preventative care. This helps to keep them healthier overall, which typically leads to them being more productive and more satisfied with their employer as well.

Different Types of Health Insurance for Employers in San Francisco

Depending on the needs of your workforce, there are a few distinct types of health insurance that you can offer them as an emplyer. These include ones like the following:

Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)

The most significant distinction with an HMO is that it does not offer coverage for any care outside an employee's own network. This tends to be the most affordable type of plan.

Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO)

An EPO is similar to a PPO in that it typically includes a wide network of providers that members can access. There is at least one very significant difference: there is no coverage for out-of-network services.

Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)

A PPO tends to have the highest premiums of these three options, but you don't need a referral to see specialists or other out-of-network medical professionals.

High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)

An HDHP is a health insurance option with lower premiums and a higher minimum deductible. It often pairs with a Health Savings Account (HSA), offering cost savings and tax advantages for individuals.

Fully Insured vs. Alternate Funded Health Insurance Options for Employers

Health insurance options differ in funding, with fully insured plans relying on premiums and alternate funded approaches introducing flexibility and cost considerations.

Fully Insured

A fully insured health insurance plan involves paying a premium to an insurance company in exchange for a defined set of healthcare benefits. The insurer assumes financial responsibility for covering medical expenses, and policyholders usually have a network of preferred providers for maximum coverage. The terms, including premiums, coverage limits, and co-payments, are determined by the insurer. This type of plan offers financial security and predictability for policyholders.

 Level Funding

Level-funded health insurance is a hybrid arrangement where an employer pays a consistent premium to a third-party administrator. This covers anticipated claims and administrative costs. If actual claims exceed expectations, stop-loss insurance kicks in to limit the employer's liability. If claims are lower, the surplus may be returned to the employer. It combines aspects of self-funding and traditional insurance, providing cost control with potential savings.

 Health Reimbursement Arrangement

An employer pairs an HRA with a fully insured High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) to create a benefits strategy. The HDHP provides insurance coverage with higher deductibles and lower premiums, while the HRA, funded by the employer, reimburses employees for out-of-pocket medical costs. This combination encourages cost-conscious healthcare choices and provides financial support for medical expenses, with the flexibility to tailor the HRA to specific health benefit needs.

Additional Coverages

AEIS assists California small business owners in enhancing their health insurance offerings with supplementary insurance options tailored to their employees needs.

I know our account wasn't particularly profitable but you always treated us as though we were supremely important.
