The Health Care Reform Act changed the rules with regard to health insurance plans for business owners, and it’s important you put the right plan in place. We know the rules and can tell you exactly how this law will affect your company, as well as what options could help your bottom line.
There are three things to look for when you are purchasing any type of group health insurance:
- Which clinics, physicians, and hospitals are in the plan? You and your key employees may want to keep the same physician, or maybe you only want to go to a specific hospital for treatment. Find out which plan best matches up with your and your employees’ needs and wishes.
- What does the “summary of benefits” tell you? You can find out what benefits a plan provides by reading the “summary of benefits” which, under law, must be provided by an insurance company. The benefits any company offers can vary with regard to the costs of medications, any co-payments that will be due, and the deductibles. There are limits on these under the new law, but you need to know before you go. Each of these items needs to be weighed carefully based upon the type of plan you choose for your business.
- How is the health insurance company ranked for customer service and quality? Every healthcare provider is different, and it’s possible to find out how others feel about any given company by accessing information on Consumer Reports. You want your employees to be happy, and although no health insurance is going to be 100% problem-free, it’s wise to seek out information from other consumers before you make a decision.
