One significant change to RI large corporate health insurance contained in the ACA is that all health coverage must include ten minimum essential coverage benefits to comply with the law. This requirement is an integral part of ensuring comprehensive assistance to the insured, including workers and members of organizations.

Employer-sponsored insurance must also meet affordability standards, including limits on premium expenses and requiring the plan to cover a set level of potential subscriber costs.

In Rhode Island, insurers must offer these additional services:

While small business employers (with fewer than fifty workers) don’t have an obligation to offer health assurance to their eligible crew members, they may want to. Health insurance is a top wish-list perk for full-time employees and recruits. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that almost half of small businesses offer protection to their workforce, but enrollment is low. That might be because the workers get health coverage from another source or find the cost too high. Regardless of whether your business is based in Rhode Island, Nevada, or Georgia, we’re here to help find an affordable plan that suits your needs and fits within your budget.

Small Business Healthcare Insurance Plans in Rhode Island
The ACA has excellent resources and support for small businesses that want to offer RI health insurance, establishing valuable links between businesses and medical protection companies.

Rhode Island requires employers with an average of eighteen or more workers to offer paid sick leave. Crew members earn one hour of sick time for every 35 hours they work, a system aimed at safeguarding health and wages. Smaller companies must also provide sick leave but do not have to pay workers for the time off. In either case, employees can accrue up to forty hours per year. In addition, RI offers paid family health protection, referred to as temporary caregiver assurance, for four weeks to care for a new child or a seriously ill family member.
Employee Benefits Plans and Staff Provisions Packages
Aside from the partially paid temporary caregiver leave, Rhode Island’s Parental and Family Medical Leave Act requires companies with fifty or more workers to allow up to thirteen weeks of unpaid but job-protected leave.
