Erie Group Health Insurance & Employee Benefits Plans

Over 30,000 people live in Erie, CO, which is more than double the number of residents ten years ago. This rapidly growing community is east of Boulder, with all the amenities of that college town close by.

Group Health Insurance and Employee Benefits

Even though it might be expensive, offering group health insurance to your employees has many favorable aspects. It is a good way to enhance the recruitment and retention of qualified staff, which in turn affords you a competitive advantage. Not surprisingly, group health insurance is one of the most requested benefits, 

Group health insurance sends your workers a message that you care about their well-being. Studies show that when a company provides health insurance, the employees are more productive and more loyal. You can also recoup some of the cost of insurance through tax deductions and by sharing the premium expense with the subscribers. 

What to Look for in an Insurance Provider

Still, even when you are motivated, finding the right insurance company is an intimidating task. There are many options from which to choose, and you have to sort through their conflicting claims and marketing promises.

As you dig into the project, consider these characteristics of effective insurance companies:

• Financial stability. Insurance is a demanding industry, so check that the company you choose has adequate financial resources.
• Customer service. Ensure that the provider you choose takes a positive approach to customer inquiries and to prompt claims processing.
• Provider network. Your workers will expect access to the best doctors and hospitals in Erie, so carefully evaluate the depth of the in-network options.

Benefits of Working with an Insurance Broker

Instead of spending your time and effort on this project, consider engaging with an independent insurance broker like Taylor Benefits Insurance to identify an ideal insurance provider. Working with a broker will save you both time and money. Consider these typical advantages:

• Brokers are not associated with insurance companies, so the broker doesn’t have to steer you toward a specific product. Instead, a broker can give you a neutral comparison of your options and recommend the ones that make sense for your company.
• Brokers already know the insurance business, which saves time. Our consultants will get to know your company so they can make the best recommendations.
• A broker can often negotiate premium rates that are lower than those you would be offered by the insurance company, so you save money on the policies you want.
