Bakersfield Group Health Insurance & Employee Benefit Plans Agent

Bakersfield CA Large Group Health Insurance Plans

Most large employers in Bakersfield, California, were offering health insurance to their workforce even before the ACA mandate. However, as a big company, you will probably periodically review your program to ensure that it's cost-effective and offers an excellent value to your team. When you check your coverage, you may want to talk to a consultant at Taylor Benefits Insurance about your options.

Depending on the budget, your target demographic for employees, and the size of your workforce, you may be able to save money and still improve the coverage you offer. For example, consider an HMO or POS (point of service) or a high deductible plan with a health savings account. If you haven't updated your insurance program recently, evaluating potential options is worth the effort.

Many large businesses self-fund their insurance rather than buying coverage. Most use a third-party administrator to manage the claims and provide data analysis. Depending on your size, also consider hedging your risk with a level-pay or reinsurance option.

Bakersfield CA Small Business Health Insurance Plans

Small Bakersfield businesses that employ less than fifty employees) don't have a requirement to provide an ACA insurance to their workers. Still, many do because they want their workers to benefit from health insurance. Plus, it’s a vital recruiting and retention tool. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that almost half of small companies provide medical insurance. Most pay part or all of the premium for the employee. Small firms can get help and support choosing and implementing insurance plans through programs created by the Affordable Care Act.

Bakersfield CA Employee Benefit Plans and Employee Benefit Packages

Benefit plans are more than health insurance and sick leave. In Bakersfield, employees are entitled to paid sick time, but many companies add more to the package to ensure they attract the top-quality workforce they need. MetLife's 2022 Benefits Survey reported that three-quarters of workers say that a better selection of benefits would keep them at their current employer longer and reduce their stress. Not surprisingly, the MetLife survey found that satisfied employees are likelier to stay loyal to their company.

Employers that want to provide a benefits package to help their workers maintain financial stability and plan for the future may want to add life insurance, contributions to a retirement savings plan like a 401(k), and perhaps assistance finding or paying for childcare. Other popular perks include dental and vision coverage, tuition reimbursement, flexible scheduling, and remote work.
