Park City, UT (PRWEB) March 26, 2014
Today, Zane Benefits, the #1 Online Health Benefits Solution, published new information on group health insurance vs. individual health insurance.
According to Zane Benefits’ website, as small businesses, startups, and non-profits consider offering health insurance for the first time, it's common to weigh the pros and cons of offering a traditional group health insurance plan or offering a "pure" defined contribution health plan. With a defined contribution plan, the business provides employees healthcare allowances for reimbursement of employees' individual health insurance.
Zane Benefits’ website says that with group health insurance, the risk is spread over the company -- the number of employees you're covering. Group health insurance is also known as employer-sponsored health insurance, job-based health insurance, or a small group plan.
Individual health insurance is a type of policy an individual purchases for himself and/or his family. As of 2014, all individual health plans must cover employees regardless of health. For example, a healthy non-smoking 40-year old employee will pay the same as a non-smoking 40-year employee with a medical condition. Premiums cannot be increased because of health conditions.
