What plan options should be considered when you design company health benefits?
There is an individual health insurance plan for everyone and every industry! And no one knows your people better than you do. Keeping your team’s best interest in mind and observing the following suggestions can help you effortlessly design your company’s health benefits package. It’s time to discover why different plan options are best for specific industries!
Medicare
Utilizing Medicare is an excellent option for individuals within higher education. This coverage is crucial for tenured faculty, as it provides the support and improved benefits that are needed in this industry. Remember, Medicare is only available for individuals 65 or older and those with specific health conditions.
Sharing programs
According to industry trends, sharing programs are regularly adopted by Christian employers. Sharing programs pool members’ money together and use it to “share” the group’s medical bill costs. Churches love the affordability and faith-based approach of these programs. Although pre-existing conditions are not covered, sharing programs are a great fit for healthy individuals and families.
Off Exchange plans
If you’re a decision-maker at a small business, off exchange plans may be the right choice for you! Higher wage earners in small businesses benefit from private off-exchange plans due to similar or improved coverage at a lower cost. This serves as an alternative to purchasing individual health insurance directly from a carrier.
Medicaid/CHIP
Medicaid or CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) options provide the potential eligibility of IRS “housing allowances” for church employees. These allowances lead to a lower adjusted gross income (AGI) on their annual tax returns. Most importantly, they provide Medicaid/CHIP access at low or no-cost. But the benefits don’t stop there! Employees’ coverage also dramatically improves while decreasing their overall exposure.
It’s important to make data-based decisions in order to design a company health benefits package that employees love. Choosing the individual insurance solution that fits your industry’s standards improves overall wellness and company culture. Now that you know what your employees need, it’s time to make some changes!
