Frequently asked questions

How many employees do I need to have in order to qualify for small group insurance?

Generally, you must have between 2 and 50 full-time equivalent employees, which is defined as one who is working 30 or more hours per week on average. Your part-time employees’ hours will contribute to the required full time equivalent. This could change depending on specific state regulations, so please contact one of our representatives to discuss this in further detail.

Do you offer coverage in my area?

As a small business with fewer than 50 employees, am I required by law to offer health insurance?
