Hayward CA Large Group Health Insurance Programs

Companies subject to the ACA (Affordable Care Act) mandate to offer health coverage must ensure that the insurance they provide for their employees provides the designated essential benefits the ACA requires and satisfies the affordability standards. Companies can use any protection they prefer, whether they choose a PPO, HMO, or POS, as long as it offers the coverage and affordability that the ACA requires.

If the company is large enough, allowing workers to choose between plans makes sense. For example, some may want a “bare bones” option with a lower premium but costs more for services that the subscriber uses. These plans make sense for consumers who don’t anticipate heavy reliance on their insurance and who can afford to pay the cost of expenses that may occur. Others want the security of a lower deductible and lower co-payment, even if the monthly premium is higher. And many prefer the flexibility of a POS or PPO structure rather than the constraints of an HMO network. If a large company has enough workers to sustain the variety of plan choices, workers are likely to be more content with their program.

Hayward CA Small Business Health Insurance Solutions

SHOP is the acronym for Small Business Health Options program. SHOP is a creation of the ACA, designed to help smaller companies find health insurance plans to help their employees. A business with as many as fifty employees can use SHOP to research insurance and look for information about the ACA tax credits for small companies. A Taylor Benefits Agency representative can help you evaluate your SHOP eligibility and is available to help you navigate the options. SHOP can help you whether you want to give your workers one plan or possibly more than one from which to choose.

Of course, with fewer than fifty employees, you don’t have to provide insurance access. It’s up to you whether you want to share the cost and whether you allow dependents to enroll.

Employee Benefit Plans and Workplace Rewards Packages

Health insurance and paid time off to the lists for most-desired employee benefits, and both are more commonly offered as the employer’s size increases. Although smaller companies may not provide health protection, they usually give some paid time off to full-time workers. Since Hayward is a California city, employers there must offer at least 24 hours of paid sick leave. Workers also get paid family leave if they qualify. In addition, many companies provide paid time for official holidays and vacation time.

Employees express interest in having retirement plans, although participation is low in companies that offer them. Workers also want dental coverage and flexible schedules.

We meet with you to discuss the financial obligations, coverage limits and potential incentives of offering different types of health insurance at benefit packages to employees so you can make the most informed decision.

Incentivize Employees – Most businesses understand that a great benefit offering can help a business to attract and keep the best employees–it’s often the most important factor to job satisfaction after pay rate. What often get lost in the discussion is that healthier employees are more productive employees. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the costs from loss of productivity can often outweigh the cost of a medical program that would have prevented them!
