What is Group Insurance

Group insurance offers comprehensive coverage for businesses, employers, and employees, providing peace of mind and financial security. This type of insurance offers various benefits that cater to various needs – from health care and dental plans to life insurance and retirement savings options. Coverage options include health, life, and disability insurance, with plans that can be customized to specific needs.

Providing comprehensive health coverage demonstrates that you value your team’s well-being and are committed to creating a supportive work environment. With over 20 years of Human Resources and Benefits experience, we can assist you with selecting and implementing a cost-effective benefits plan.

Health Insurance

Group health insurance is one of the most common types of coverage offered to employees. It provides medical coverage for employees and their dependents, including doctor visits, hospitalization, prescription medications, preventive care, and other medical services. Group health insurance helps employees manage healthcare costs and provides access to a network of healthcare providers.

Life Insurance

Group life insurance provides a death benefit to the beneficiaries of an employee in the event of their passing. It offers financial protection and can help support the employee's family or dependents during a difficult time. The coverage amount is typically based on the employee's salary or a predetermined benefit amount.

Disability Insurance

Group disability insurance offers income replacement benefits to employees who are unable to work due to a disability or illness. It provides a portion of the employee's income while they cannot work, ensuring they have a source of income to cover living expenses during their recovery period.

Dental Insurance

Group dental insurance covers dental care, including preventive services like cleanings and X-rays and restorative procedures such as fillings, extractions, and root canals. Dental insurance helps employees maintain oral health and covers some of the costs associated with dental treatments.

Vision Insurance

Group vision insurance covers expenses related to vision care, including eye exams, prescription eyewear (eyeglasses or contact lenses), and discounts on vision correction procedures. It helps employees maintain good eye health and provides access to affordable vision care services.

Advantages of Group Insurance

Group insurance offers a powerful tool for businesses to attract and retain talented individuals while demonstrating their commitment to employee well-being. By pooling together a larger number of individuals, group insurance plans can provide access to more extensive coverage options and often at more affordable rates. Here are key benefits you can enjoy when you opt for group insurance policies:

Cost savings

Group insurance policies are typically more cost-effective than individual insurance plans because the risk is spread across a larger pool of people. This allows the insurance provider to negotiate lower premiums and offer more comprehensive coverage.

Enhanced coverage

Group insurance plans often provide broader coverage and additional benefits than individual policies. Employers can customize the insurance plan to meet the needs of their employees and provide a comprehensive package that includes various types of insurance.

Simplified administration

Group insurance policies streamline the administrative processes for the employer and the employees. Premiums are usually deducted from the employees' salaries, and claims and paperwork can be handled efficiently through a centralized system.

Access to insurance

Group insurance plans make it easier for employees to obtain insurance coverage. They often have more lenient eligibility requirements and may include coverage for pre-existing conditions, which might be excluded or limited in individual policies.

What Makes Suncoast Benefits The Perfect Insurance Broker

Over a four-year period, we helped a company with approximately 140 staff members maintain group rates to a mere 6%.  The company’s total increase in health premiums did not increase more than 6% in four years.  One year the company received a rate pass which was financially beneficial to the company and the staff members.  This is very uncommon in the industry, especially with large groups. It does not happen without an experienced professional that understands the healthcare options and has the ability to customize those available options.     

 

We recently saved several small business owners between $5,000 and $7,000 in annual premiums.  How did we do that?  We used additional resources to supplement the original plan, which made the employer and staff members very happy.  In addition to understanding the corporate goals, we understand the needs of individuals.  We can recommend minor plan design changes that may save your company and staff members a considerable amount in monthly premiums.

 

Suncoast Benefits specializes in corporate enrollments.  We will develop, update and present communications about the annual review of benefits and annual enrollment guides.  We have experienced benefit enrollers who will conduct annual employee orientations and assist individuals in resolving conflicts with the carrier, should they arise.
