Group Health & Employee Benefits 

Group health insurance is coverage through an employer or other entity that offers coverage to all eligible individuals in the group. Georgia defines small group as a maximum of 50 employees. If an employer has more employees than the state’s definition of small group, the plan is considered a large group. Group health insurance is one of the most popular employee benefits that employers provide.


Offering an attractive health insurance policy is a key benefit that will help you attract and retain talent. While not required for all companies, it is a benefit you will need to provide your employees in order to stay competitive. For large employer groups, offering group health insurance may be required under the Affordable Care Act.



Providing group health insurance offers important tax benefits. The premiums you and your employees pay are tax deductible. This reduces your employees’ taxable income, which lowers your business payroll taxes.


Aiming to help you design the group medical benefits your organization requires, Heart of Georgia Insurance Brokers ensures we maximize the protection while minimizing the cost. From Health Maintenance Organizations to Preferred Provider organizations, our team can walk you through the range of plans and extensive options to choose from to ensure your employees with easy access to their providers.

Traditional ACA and Level-Funded Plans

Traditional ACA Health Plans

ACA Plans are federally regulated major medical insurance with full coverage for pre-existing conditions
and standardized essential benefits.
They're ideal for clients who need guaranteed coverage.

  • No health questions or underwriting
  • Preventative care at no cost


Level-Funded Health Plans


Level-Funded plans are an alternative for healthier groups who want lower premiums
and the chance to receive a refund if claims are lower than expected.

They blend the stability of traditional insurance with the potential savings of self-funding.

  • Health-based underwriting
  • Potential for monthly savings
  • Opportunity for year-end surplus refund
  • Works best for small groups with generally good health

HSA, HRA, and ICHRA

Health Savings Account (HSA)
A tax-advantaged savings account paired with a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).
You can use HSA funds tax-free for qualified medical expenses, and the money is yours to keep year after year.


Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA)
An employer-funded benfit that reimburses employees tax-free for approved medical expenses, up to a set amount.
The employer funds it; employees receive reimbursements.


Individual Coverage HRA (ICHRA)
An HRA that lets employers reimburse for individual health insurance premiums and qualified medical expenses.
Employees choose their own ACA-compliant plan, and the employer sets the monthly allowance.

Section 125

A Section 125 Cafeteria Plan is an employer-sponsored, IRS-approved plan that lets employees pay for certain benefits on a pre-tax basis. It must be set up as a formal written plan and allows employees to reduce taxable income by choosing eligible pre-tax benefits.

Vision

Approximately 70 percent of adult Americans report wearing some type of corrective lenses. Group vision coverage is one of the benefit options commonly offered through employers.

Life 

Group life insurance helps to provide security for your employees’ families or loved ones by making a payment if an employee dies. Group life insurance is issued to cover employees. The contract is issued to the employer who then offers coverage as a benefit to employees. Many employers provide, at no cost, a base amount of group coverage as well as the ability to purchase additional coverage and coverage for employees' spouses and children.

Disability 

Group Disability Insurance is a form of coverage that provides partial payment of your employees’ income in the event of a major illness, accident, or sickness. 


An employee’s inability to come to work due to a disability could seriously impact his or her financial standing and may lead to severe hardship for the employee and his or her family.



Group Disability Insurance provides income replacement benefits to employees while they are unable to work, maintaining their standard of living until they can hopefully return to their job.
