Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need a Group Health Insurance Plan in NY?
Group health insurance is a policy that is sponsored by a company for its employees. Small businesses are defined as having anywhere between 2 and 100 workers. Health insurance policies are one of the most requested benefits made by employees.
Organizations with less than 30 workers aren’t required to offer health insurance. However, giving your employees the option to opt into a health insurance plan can make you more desirable than other companies. You can attract high-quality employees by offering them premium benefits.
How Much Does NY Group Health Insurance Cost?
If you employ 2- 100 employees, you are considered a small employer. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), the cost of group health insurance for a single person is $780.00 per month or $9,360.00 per year. For a family the cost is $1,871.00 per month or $22,463.00 per year. New York group health insurance premiums are about 39% higher than the national average
If you are a large Employer, over 100 employees, your health insurance costs will vary. Premiums are based on the location of your company, industry, number of employees, gender and residential zip codes.
Underwriting factors could impact the cost as well. For instance, if your employees have high medical claims, your cost per employee could be higher. If you have younger employees that are healthy, your premiums will be much lower. In many cases, large employer rates are lower than small employer rates.
Do I Need to Pay My Employee’s Premium in Full?
Unfortunately, many small business owners find covering their employee’s health insurance premiums in full a burden. This is due to the continually rising costs of health care in the country. Some business owners choose to pay a portion (50%) of their worker’s premium or have the employee pay for 100% of the cost of their dependent’s insurance.
Heathplansny will show you the most affordable options available. You can pick the best health insurance plan that’ll fit within your budget while providing your workers with adequate coverage.
