Small Business Health Insurance Group Plan Options

When it comes to health plans, “metal” tiers easily identify how costs are split between the insurance company and the insured.

Plan options within each metal tier include Participating Provider Option (PPO) and Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) choices. Learn more about the differences between these options:

PPO

PPO plans allow members more flexibility than an HMO to see specialists. Members can choose a primary care physician (PCP).

HMO

Members in HMO plans choose a primary care physician (PCP) who coordinates the patient's care. To see specialists, members need a referral from their PCP.

Network Offerings

Our plan offerings leverage different networks of providers in order to create plan options that fit any small business budget*.
