Frisco TX Large Group Health Insurance Plans

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) defines large employers as employing fifty or more workers. It requires that they offer their employees and dependents a healthcare policy that meets the minimum affordability and coverage standards. The affordability provision applies only to the employee, not the dependents, but the coverage standards apply to any plan. In addition, the subscriber portion of the cost can't exceed 9.12 percent of gross income for 2023.

Employers who do not offer adequate health insurance may have to pay a shared responsibility penalty. The IRS may levy the penalty if the company doesn't provide acceptable insurance to at least 95 percent of its workers and dependents. Children up to age 26 are dependents, but spouses and foster or stepchildren are not. Also, companies won't have to pay the fine unless at least one of their employees receives a premium tax credit for buying insurance through a health insurance marketplace. Employees aren’t eligible for marketplace credits if the employer plan meets affordability and coverage standards.

Frisco, TX Small Business Health Insurance Plans

Small companies may struggle due to the rising cost of insuring their workers. One less-costly coverage option is a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). If the deductible meets the IRS standards, the company can pair it with a Health Savings Account. An HSA allows the subscriber to pay for medical expenses using pre-tax funds. In 2023 the minimum deductible is $1,500 for an individual or $3,000 for a family.

2023 contributions to HSAs can’t exceed $3,850 for an individual or $7,750 for a family. In addition, any funds in the account that are not used in one calendar year can roll over indefinitely, which is different than the rules for traditional FSAs (flexible spending accounts.)
