What is a Group Insurance Plan?
·
Group insurance plans are set up by an employer, union, or other
group with a view to providing insurance
coverage to plan members in the event of
death, accident, illness, or disability. For
employers, they are often the primary addition
to an employees benefits package.
·
The Employer (also known as the policyholder) negotiates the details of the contract with the
insurer.
·
It is a group contract in which participation is generally compulsory
for employees or group members.
·
Group members must have a relationship with the policyholder; for
example, they must all be employed by the
same company or an affiliate.
·
Group insurance premiums are generally guaranteed for a one-year
period. Every year, the policyholder and
insurer can negotiate changes to the plan.
Customized Plans
·
Customized plans tailored to its members' needs are offered to larger
groups.
·
The various plans and services available through Broker Advantage
are designed to meet the specific
needs of the group. Policyholders determine
the exact combination of coverage types they
wish to offer plan members.
·
This type of plan is particularly well suited for large companies.
Plans for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses
·
Broker Advantage also offers group insurance plans
designed to meet the special needs of small
and medium-sized businesses.
·
These plans include most of the same coverage available under
customized plans. However, coverage options
and amounts are generally more limited.
·
The many options available through these innovative products enable
employers to adapt their plans according to
the needs of employees.
·
In addition, since most plans
must continue to reflect the rapidly
changing needs of your employee's, you
can modify your coverage's as your company
grows.
·
Small business and self-employed worker
insurance is in some respects a group
insurance plan available on an individual
basis.
·
It is specifically designed to meet the needs of self-employed
workers, owners of micro-businesses (10
employees or fewer), and salaried workers
who do not have a group insurance plan at
work.
·
It offers most of the same coverage as a group insurance plan. The
insured party chooses the desired
combination of coverage, subject to the
limits stipulated in the contract.
