Are you a small to mid-size business owner? Are you sick of feeling swindled by your current health insurance provider? Are you ready for something better? It's time to take advantage of affordable health care with an employee's compensation or private health insurance policy designed to suit your company's needs. A PEO health insurance policy is a great choice for employers who can't provide their employees with traditional benefits packages because of cost or because they don't want to deal with the added expense of providing these benefits. The following are several benefits of PEOs and how they can help you provide better health care to your employees:
Health insurance plans for small business owners are an affordable alternative to Group Medical Benefits (GMC). In most states, professional employer organization (PEO) health insurance plans are either tax-relief or guaranteed issue. Tax-relief plans are provided at 100 percent of the cost, while GMC plans are usually required to be selected by the eligible employees. An HMO is an example of a PEO plan where each member is required to choose his own health insurance coverage, whereas an EPO is an example of a managed care plan that allows certain professionals (like physicians and nurses) to participate in the program. Nationwide, United Healthcare, Marathon, Blue Cross/Blue Shield of California, Wellmark, Aetna, Assurant Health, Celtic Insurance Company, Nation Wide Group Health Services, BCBS, Assurant Health, Delta Airlines, United Healthcare, Blue Cross/ Blue Shield of Tennessee, Humana One, Assurant Health, BCBS, Carnival Corp., and United Healthcare have their own individual professional employer organization health insurance coverage plans.
An agent's or broker's services directly affect healthcare plan premiums, which directly affect the amount that a company invests in a healthcare plan. For this reason, it is essential that people who want to invest in PEO plans buy only from a brokerage or agent who is licensed by the state they live in, as each state has different regulations that mandate the highest-quality broker or agent. The broker or agent should have extensive experience in the health industry and should have successfully sold or bought other PEOs in the past. Furthermore, a broker's or agent's success rate is important since it shows the public the success rate of the insurance plan, thus giving buyers a better picture of what kind of premium they will pay.
People who may prefer lower premiums may choose to use a broker or agent with less experience or who may not be licensed by the state they live in. Brokers with less experience may not have as much knowledge about the health benefits provided by specific PEO plans as a licensed broker because that knowledge would be needed to assess and compare the specific PEO plan's various offerings. However, even if brokers have less experience, they can still provide valuable information to buyers by providing objective evaluations of each PEO plan.
In addition, it is beneficial for small businesses that may not have a lot of capital to invest in PEO plans, but want to get access to some of the same benefits that large businesses have. Small businesses can do so by using their own private networks of suppliers. Some PEO companies offer their customers access to suppliers who have direct connections with some small businesses, which give them access to suppliers who offer many of the same benefits as HMOs and other health plans. In addition, these suppliers may be able to provide competitive rates for PEO plans' health benefits.
The bottom line is that small business owners can find affordable PEO health care coverage by taking advantage of the extra value offered by PEOs. Business owners and agents can save money on premiums and get the same benefits as larger companies by taking advantage of a PEO group's affordable premiums and benefits. PEOs are very beneficial to businesses of all sizes, so whether you are a small businesses, self-employed, or a large corporation, you can benefit from PEOs.
