So what is a group health insurance plan and what are the benefits of obtaining group health insurance? A group health insurance plan is an insurance plan that allows for healthcare coverage to a select group of people. Primarily, group health insurance plans are one of the considerable benefits offered by many employers in the U.S. Generally, group health insurance plans are typically the same, offering similar benefits to all employees or members of the group covered under the policy. However, group health insurance policies can be specially tailored to offer benefits by classification of employees and/or by the profile of employees. Additionally, group health insurance policies that are purchased by an employer as part of an employee benefits package are often extended to the employees’ family members as a benefit of working for that company.

Group Health Insurance Secures Talented Employees

A group health insurance plan is an integral component of many employee benefits packages that employers provide for their employees; without such benefits, many employees tend to pass up on job offers that do not provide group health insurance policies to them and their families. There are many benefits of providing group health insurance to your employees, and at Dickey McCay, we can help you to attract high-quality workers who understand these advantages. One of the conveniences for employees in a group health plan is the aid most employers in the U.S. make toward the cost of health coverage premium. For example, in many instances, employers pay one-half or more of the monthly premium for their  employee. For employees, this is an attractive reason to join a company, and a primary reason many skilled workers remain with their company.

Group health insurance, however, can be bought and extended to other defined groups other than those in a workplace, for example the members of a society or professional association such as the American Medical Association. Benefits of group health insurance extend beyond coverage; it can also help reduce the problem of adverse selection, or people who can be taken advantage of because they need insurance but do not have access to all of the information or will be charged a higher premium by buying individual health insurance. Group health insurance allows for a group of people who are eligible to purchase insurance but belong to the group for reasons other than they wish to buy insurance (employment, being part of a professional association, etc.); this type of grouping of individual persons allows our insurance companies at Dickey McCay Insurance to provide lower rates.

One of the most critical benefits of obtaining group health insurance through Dickey McCay Insurance is that as a member of the body being offered the group health insurance, the person in the group is generally eligible to renew coverage if they choose to continue being a member of the group. Under group health insurance, the policyholder will typically remain covered as long as he/she continues to work for the employer providing the group health insurance benefits and as long as he/she continues to pay the required insurance premiums.
