Employee Benefits

# Group Health Plans

Offering health coverage helps you attract and keep great employees. We help Florida employers compare group medical, dental and vision plans that fit their team and their budget.

## How we can help

Group medical plans for small and growing businesses

### Dental & vision benefits

Dental and vision coverage options

### Side-by-side comparisons

Help comparing costs, networks and employee contributions

### Renewal support

Ongoing support at renewal time

## Is it time to review your group health plan?

Did your group health plan costs go up 10% or more at your last renewal? You're not alone. Many Florida employers accept a rate increase simply because the renewal arrives with little time to shop, and no one has shown them a side-by-side comparison of what other carriers would charge for similar coverage.

Cost is only part of the picture. If your employees are frustrated by high deductibles, surprise out-of-pocket bills, or favorite doctors leaving the network, your plan may no longer fit your team. And if you're losing job candidates to companies with stronger benefits, your health plan could be costing you more than the premium.

There may also be options you haven't been shown, like a different plan design, adding an HSA-eligible option, or a level-funded arrangement that can return unused claims dollars. A good benefits advisor should check in with you all year, not just a few weeks before renewal.

If any of this sounds familiar, we'll review your current plan and compare options before your next renewal, with no obligation to switch.

## Group health insurance for Southwest Florida businesses

Insurance Specialists of SW Florida helps small and mid-size employers in Bonita Springs, Naples, Fort Myers, Estero, Cape Coral and across Florida find employee health insurance that balances quality coverage with a predictable budget. As an independent agency, we're not tied to a single carrier, so we can compare plans from multiple insurers and explain the trade-offs in plain language.

Whether you're offering benefits for the first time or reworking a plan you've had for years, we help you decide how much to contribute, which plan designs to offer, and how to communicate the benefits to your employees so they actually value them.

## Types of group health plans we compare

### PPO plans

Broad provider networks and the freedom to see specialists without referrals, at a higher premium.

### HMO and EPO plans

Lower premiums with a defined network, a good fit for employees who mostly see local doctors.

### HSA-eligible high-deductible plans

Lower premiums paired with a tax-advantaged health savings account employees can keep.

### Level-funded plans

Fixed monthly costs with the potential for a refund if your group's claims come in low.

### Dental and vision

Affordable add-on benefits employees use often and appreciate.

### Group life and disability

Income and family protection that rounds out a competitive benefits package.

## How our plan review works

We start with a conversation about your team, your budget and what's working or not working with your current coverage. With your current plan summary and renewal in hand, we shop the market and lay out side-by-side comparisons of premiums, deductibles, networks and employee contributions.

Once you choose a plan, we help with enrollment and employee questions, and we stay with you after the sale for claims issues, mid-year changes and every renewal that follows. The best time to start is 60 to 90 days before your renewal date, but it's never too early to ask.
