Montana Group Health Insurance & Employee Benefit Plans have a variety of options for individuals and families, and they include vital elements such as deductible amounts and payment options
Montana, like Georgia and other states, relies on the federal healthcare exchange for its marketplace. Still, it has created a reinsurance program to assist state insurers with managing the cost of high individual claims. The reinsurance program levies a fee on all major medical and disability plans in Montana (excluding self-funded plans) to fund the program. Reinsurance has helped keep premiums down for those who purchase coverage through the exchange or independently. Our Georgia-based agents can provide access to these health plans through our customer service portal or app.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires large companies in Montana to offer health insurance to their full-time, eligible workers. ACA rules eliminated restrictions on coverage for pre-existing conditions, which previously prevented people from obtaining care in some circumstances. As with our Georgia-based agents, our Montana team can provide assistance in understanding the deductible amounts and payment options for these health plans.
The Affordable Care Act also requires insurance companies to allow dependents to remain on their parent’s policies until they reach the age of 26 and eliminate lifetime benefit caps. Policies issued in compliance with the Affordable Care Act must be affordable, meaning the premium paid by the subscriber is limited to 9.6 percent of their gross income for individual coverage. In addition, every policy must include these essential benefits:
Small businesses are exempt from the ACA requirement to provide small business health insurance coverage. Still, they have resources to assist them in doing so. For example, suppose your business employees one hundred or fewer workers. In that case, you may be able to qualify for programs through the SHOP (Small Business Health Options) structure. Through our app, employers can easily access these resources and learn more about their options.

A perfect health plan for your company depends on what you and your employees want and how much you are willing to spend. The following are four popular types of health insurance plans:
The “Health Maintenance Organizations” (HMOs) are health care organizations whose members receive health care services through a network of medical providers contracted with the organization. Most HMO plans require employees to select a primary care physician (“PCP”) to handle the majority of their health care and refer them to specialists as needed.
An HSA-qualified plan is typically a PPO plan designed specifically for use with a Health Savings Account (HSA). HSAs are special bank accounts that allow participants to save money at pre-tax rates to use for future medical expenses. Due to their advantages for employers, Section 105 Healthcare Reimbursement Plans (HRPs) are often used instead of HSAs.
PPOs, or preferred provider organizations, are the most common insurance plans. The insurance company will pay at the full level if employees receive medical care from a doctor or hospital listed on the company’s preferred provider list.
With an indemnity plan, members can choose their own doctors and hospitals. Insurers cover the remaining charges. A company may require employees to pay upfront for some services and then apply for reimbursement from an insurance company.
A number of medical treatments and equipment are covered by health insurance plans in Montana, including surgeries, doctor’s visits, and prescription drugs.
However, some healthcare services, such as plastic surgery, for instance, are not covered by most companies because it is viewed as unnecessary. Vision or dental services are not covered by most healthcare plans, so they must be purchased separately.
No matter how much or how little an employee pays into company-sponsored health insurance, they all can contribute. In the United States, the average employee spends about three times as much on healthcare per year. On average, the employee pays $3240 a year, or $270 a month.
