Group Health Benefits are a non-wage compensation benefit provided to employees in addition to their normal wages or salaries. Other examples of this benefit would include: Group Life, Disability, Dental, Vision and Hearing in which individual employees or members are included under one master policy owned by their employers.
Group Health Insurance Benefits can vary from company to company, based on the choice of the employer. Almost all policies cover emergency room and routine medical procedures, as well as co-pay for doctor office visits and prescription drugs and hospital treatment for accidents, injuries, or illnesses.
Most often the employer pays a portion of the premium as an additional employee benefit and offers a pay-roll deduction for the remaining balance of the premium making it much more affordable for the employee. Spouse and dependent coverage is available, but may be at the employee’s expense.
WHY PURCHASE GROUP HEALTH BENEFITS?
To attract and retain quality personnel a complete Group Employee Benefit Program is a requirement many folks look for. Depending on the number of employees and the average age of the group, certain employees who are uninsurable can become eligible on large group plans at a very affordable rate. This includes uninsurable dependents as well. In some cases Group Insurance is the only way some employees could qualify for health insurance and would not be eligible for a personal policy through the same carrier.
It provides efficiency and productivity as employees are assured of security for themselves and their families.
Premiums are tax deductible as a corporate expense, which means savings with quality coverage.
