What is Business Health Insurance?
Business health is a type of insurance coverage provided by employers to employees, offering financial protection and access to healthcare service. While business health insurance plans vary in their coverage levels, they typically include benefits such as doctor visits, hospitalization, prescription medications, preventive care, and sometimes dental and vision care. Overall, the purpose of business health insurance is to ensure that employees have affordable and comprehensive healthcare coverage.
Types of Business Health Insurance
Businesses generally provide healthcare coverage for employees in one of two ways – with either a traditional insurance plan or a captive self-insured plan. In a traditional plan, an insurance company takes the risk and collecting all the profits. Captive plans, like InCap, for example, are a more affordable option that provide greater control, increased customization of plan design, and improved visibility for better decision making.
