What Is Group Health Insurance

Group health insurance is a single health plan that covers a business's employees (and often their dependents) under one policy, rather than each employee shopping for individual coverage on their own. Because risk is spread across the group, employers can typically offer more comprehensive coverage at a more predictable cost than individual market plans.

Why Offer Group Health as a Small Business?

Beyond taking care of your team, offering group health can be a meaningful differentiator in hiring and retention โ€” especially competing against larger companies for the same talent. Depending on your group size and structure, there may also be tax advantages to offering coverage, which we can walk through with you directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many employees do I need to offer group health?

Most small group market plans in Alabama are available to businesses with as few as 2 employees, though exact eligibility can vary by carrier. We'll confirm what you qualify for.

Am I required to offer health insurance to my employees?

Requirements generally depend on your business size and structure. We can walk you through whether any offer requirements apply to your specific situation.

Can I offer coverage to only some employees?

Group plans generally have participation and eligibility rules that apply consistently across a defined class of employees โ€” we'll help you structure this correctly from the start.

What's the difference between fully-insured and level-funded plans?

Fully-insured plans have fixed premiums regardless of claims, while level-funded plans can offer cost savings and potential refunds if claims come in lower than expected โ€” though they carry more variability. We'll help you decide which structure fits your business.

Can I add dental and vision to a group health plan?

Yes โ€” dental and vision are commonly offered alongside a group medical plan, either bundled or as standalone options, depending on the carrier.
