We, at Selected Benefits, offer a comprehensive selection of Small Business Group Medical Plans and Large Business Group Medical Plans from most all of the major health insurance carriers in Texas. We also offer an extensive array of ancillary products such as group dental and vision, group life insurance, short- and long-term group disability plans and more.

We will work closely with either the owners or benefits manager of your company to enhance your employee benefits at a greatly reduced cost to your firm. Each client is different in what they want to offer, so it is imperative that we take a deep dive into what you currently have to see where we can add value and we strive to do this as quickly as possible.

Our health insurance carriers include, but are not limited to Aetna, Blue Cross, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, National General, Allied, Memorial Hermann and many others. We will shop you through traditional plans, underwritten plans and self-insured plans. We do this because our goal is to deliver what you need at the absolute lowest price without sacrificing quality. On average, companies that switch to us save $1,000 or more per employee and see their benefit costs kept down as low as possible year after year.

We use ACA plans for some of our groups that have challenging health conditions, but for employer groups that are healthier than normal, we like to shop you with underwritten and self-insured plans as we can often save your business between 15 and 30% over the best ACA related group premiums. Most insurance agencies don’t shop those carriers because they require more work and understanding on the front end and more support on the back end. We specialize in this because it is an incredible tool to save you money and we have the technology in place to make it happen smoothly. Case in point, we just recently saved a 21 person group over $60,000 per year using this approach. We use the same approach when searching for ancillary benefits such as group dental, group vision, long term disability and group life insurance.

Whether you have 150 employees and are shopping your benefits for the coming year or you are just now offering a group health plan for the first time, we can help.

Simply call us at (866) 270-6209 or fill out the short form to the right and we’ll start the process. One of our group specialists will be in touch very shortly thereafter.

In the past few years, with the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, we have watched the individual/family health insurance market slowly become eclipsed in popularity by the much more stable small, mid-sized and large employer group health insurance market.

The premiums for these policies have remained far steadier and generally provide much more value in comparison. Owners of both small and mid-sized to large businesses in Texas have the option to offer health insurance coverage to both their employees and their immediate families.

The insurance law in Texas defines a small employer as follows: any business with at least 2 employees, but no greater than 50 employees. Your mid-sized business is typically 50-100 employees while a large group would be 100+ employees. This definition holds no matter how many hours per week they work, so if you do choose to offer health, dental and vision insurance, you must make it available to all eligible employees and their dependents which include those working at least 30 hours per week.

As a general rule, the insurance carrier will require a minimum of 75% participation of all eligible employees in order to write the policy. A health insurance company that chooses to offer business group health insurance in Texas must make it available for purchase at any time during the year. An exception would be if the employer cannot meet the requirement of 75 percent participation, the insurance carrier, at its discretion, can require that the employer has to wait until the next season of open enrollment to purchase the health insurance coverage.
