What Is Group Health Insurance?

Group health insurance is a health coverage plan purchased by an employer and offered to eligible employees—and often their dependents—as part of the company's benefits package. Group plans typically offer lower premiums than individual plans because the risk is spread across the group.

For Missouri employers, offering group health insurance is one of the most effective ways to compete for talent, reduce turnover, and demonstrate a commitment to employee well-being. Insurance Plus partners with multiple carriers to help you design a benefits package that works for your budget and your team.

Who Should Offer Group Health Insurance?

Any employer with two or more full-time employees can explore group health options. While the Affordable Care Act requires employers with 50+ full-time equivalent employees to offer coverage, many smaller Missouri businesses voluntarily provide group health to stay competitive in hiring.

Industries like construction, manufacturing, healthcare, professional services, and technology benefit significantly from offering health benefits, as these fields face strong competition for skilled workers.
