    Essential Benefits, HSA’s & Customized Plan Design

    Essential Health Benefits – Under the Affordable Care Act–also referred to as Obamacare–employee sponsored health plans must include certain coverages to be considered a qualifying option. (Including these essential benefits is a requirement if you hope to reap the financial incentives for offering an employer-sponsored health plan.) There are 10 categories of coverage that fall under essential health benefits:

    • Outpatient hospital services
    • Inpatient care (admission to a hospital)
    • Emergency services & ER visits
    • Prenatal & newborn care
    • Substance abuse & mental health services
  • Recuperative & rehabilitative care
  • Laboratory tests
  • Preventive care
  • Prescription drug coverage
  • Pediatric care, including dental

    Health Savings Account (HSA) – An HSA is an excellent option to offer savings to both groups and individuals within a plan structure. An HSA is essentially a tax-exempt account that can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses like deductibles, copays and out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. One of the advantages of an HSA is that any money left in the account at the end of the year will roll over to the next year so that it can still be used.

    Strategy & Selection – One of the true advantages of working with an independent agent is that they are not tied to any specific plan or carrier. At Taylor Benefits, we work with every major health insurance carrier in California to offer you the most choice and flexibility in your benefits package. We take into account the details of your business–from plan design to your financial goals–to formulate a customized group benefits option that is designed to fit your employees, your company and your industry.
