What Is Group Health Insurane
Group health insurance is a type of health coverage offered by an employer or organization to provide medical benefits to employees and, in many cases, their dependents. Instead of individuals purchasing their own health plans, the employer purchases a policy that covers a group of employees under one plan.
This type of coverage is commonly offered by businesses as part of an employee benefits package and is often more affordable than individual health insurance because the risk is spread across a larger group of people.
How
How Group Health Insurance Works
Employers work with insurance carriers to select a health plan that meets the needs of their workforce. The employer typically pays a portion of the monthly premium, while employees contribute the remaining amount through payroll deductions.
Group plans usually cover services such as:
Doctor visits
Hospital care
Preventive services
Prescription medications
Emergency services
Specialist care
Many plans also allow employees to add spouses and dependent children to their coverage.
