Corpus Christi TX Large Group Health Insurance Plans

Every business that employs fifty or more workers must offer health insurance to the workers to comply with the Affordable Care Act (ACA.) Most large companies offered insurance even before the legislation was passed, but the quality varied. Also, health care is expensive, and the ACA limits how much employees can be required to pay for their coverage. For 2023, a subscriber’s share of the premium can’t exceed 9.12 percent of their income.

Many big companies are shifting to self-funding as a means of controlling their costs. Self-funding means the company pays for the employee's medical claims rather than buying coverage from an insurance provider. This approach is invisible to the employees, who submit their claims as usual. The employer may enjoy control over the coverage, have better cash flow, and save money overall. But they have to be able to accept the risk that a few catastrophic claims could push costs over the expected level. Some companies add a stop-loss policy which can limit their overall exposure. Most also engage a third-party administrator to process claims.

Corpus Christi TX Small Business Health Insurance Plans

Health insurance is costly, and the expense can make it difficult for small businesses to offer coverage to their workers in the absence of an ACA mandate. While many small companies provide insurance, some prefer to find other ways to help their workers with these costs.

One option is to sponsor a Qualified Small Employer Health Reimbursement Arrangement (QSEHRA). These accounts enable workers to use pre-tax income to pay for healthcare. The QSEHRA lets companies help without taking on the full cost and risk of health insurance. The employer administers the program and decides how much to contribute to the employee’s accounts. Talk to your Taylor Benefits Insurance specialist about how QSEHRAs work.
