Supporting Your Business' Group Health Insurance

Group Insurance

As a small business ourselves, at Lourie Life & Health we understand that choosing the right health insurance plan for your employees is crucial for their well-being and your business's success. There are many options for you to consider, which include:

Fully-Insured Plans

Fully-Insured Plans

Fully-Insured Plans are traditional group health insurance plans where the employer pays a fixed premium to the insurance carrier. The carrier assumes the risk and responsibility for paying claims. These plans are straightforward and provide predictable costs for budgeting purposes. Employers can choose from a variety of plan options to best meet the needs of their employees.

Key Features:
  • Fixed monthly premiums
  • Insurance carrier assumes all risk
  • Wide range of plan options
  • Simplified administration

Level-Funded Plans

Level-Funded Plans

Level-Funded Plans combine elements of both fully-insured and self-funded plans. Employers pay a fixed monthly amount that covers administrative costs, stop-loss insurance, and claims funding. If claims are lower than expected, the employer may receive a refund at the end of the year. If claims are higher, stop-loss insurance protects against excessive costs.

Key Features:
  • Fixed monthly payments
  • Potential for year-end refunds
  • Stop-loss insurance for protection
  • Flexibility in plan design

Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRA)

Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements

ICHRA allows employers to provide employees with a set amount of money to purchase their own individual health insurance plans. This arrangement offers flexibility and can be tailored to meet the diverse needs of employees. Employers can control costs by setting a defined contribution amount.

Key Features:
  • Defined employer contributions
  • Employees choose their own plans
  • Flexibility and customization
  • Potential tax advantages

Supplemental Benefits

Supplemental Benefits

Supplemental Benefits provide additional coverage to help employees manage out-of-pocket costs not covered by primary health insurance. These benefits can include accident insurance, critical illness insurance, hospital indemnity insurance, life insurance, dental, vision, and more. Offering supplemental benefits can enhance your overall benefits package and support employee retention and satisfaction.
Key Features:

  • Additional coverage for out-of-pocket costs
  • Options for accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity insurance, life insurance, dental, and vision
  • Enhances overall benefits package
  • Supports employee retention and satisfaction
