The authors, Brian Stevens and Stacey Schifferdecker, have spent 30 years in the insurance and finance industries, and have written a number of articles on small business health insurance plans.
If you are a small business owner, you want to offer your employees the best small business health insurance plan available. However, because health insurance can be among the most expensive items in your budget, you also want to get a cheap rate.
Decide What Kind of Small Business Health Insurance You Want to Offer
Three types of small business health insurance plans are available:
* Fee for Service plans are the most costly small business health insurance plans. Your employees can choose any doctor or hospital. They receive a fixed reimbursement for medical costs, usually around 80%.
* PPOs (Preferred Provider Organizations) provide comprehensive health services but employees must choose a doctor and hospital that is part of the PPO’s network.
* HMOs (Health Maintenance Organizations) are similar to PPOs in that employees must choose a doctor and hospital that is in the network. However, HMOs usually offer fewer choices than PPOs and may require approval before an employee can visit a specialist. HMOs offer the cheapest rate for small business health insurance plans.
Gather Information the Insurance Company Will Need to Develop A Quote
The rates for small business health insurance plans are based on such factors as
* The general age and health of your employees, including tobacco use.
* The hazards of the job.
* The location of the business.
You need to collect this information before you shop for small business health insurance.
