Brownsville, TX Large Group Health Insurance Plans

Large employers in Brownsville must offer health insurance policies to their workers if they employ at least fifty. This requirement stems from the Affordable Care Act. The ACA also has specific rules for coverage and affordability.

Some companies prefer to enroll all subscribers in the same plan, while others allow employees to choose the plan structure that meets their needs. Some take a fixed contribution approach, paying a set amount toward the employee's premium and offering options that the worker can pay extra for if they desire. Half of the large companies recently surveyed by human resources consultant WTW stated that they are considering switching vendors to cut costs. Almost a quarter of those companies responding to the survey said they plan to increase the subscriber’s share of premiums.

Employees prefer a choice between plans, with an option for a POS (point of sale), PPO (preferred provider organization), and HMO (health maintenance organization).

Brownsville, TX Small Business Health Insurance Plans

In cities like Brownsville, small companies can affordably provide health insurance – if they choose to. However, the Affordable Care Act’s coverage mandate exempts employers with fewer than fifty workers, so the decision is up to the company. Companies looking for resources and information about insurance can find help from SHOP (Small Business Health Options Program), created by the ACA, which provides incentives for offering compliant coverage.

Some businesses can even qualify for a tax credit if they are eligible using these criteria:

• Employ fewer than 25 employees
• Pay lower average wages (currently set at less than $53,000 yearly)
• Offer an eligible health plan from the Small Business Health Options Program or through a qualified broker like Taylor Benefits Insurance.
• Subsidize at least half the cost for enrolled workers. The company does not have to share the cost for dependents.

Talk to your consultant about options for your small business.
