The startling thing that I’ve encountered with businesses is they only offer one medical plan.
Why do you think that’s the case? Because they didn’t no better!
I bet if I took out 20 business owners and offered to buy them ice cream the majority of them would say yes… but what if I offered to buy them ice cream with the catch that they can only order coffee ice cream with no toppings? Nothing against coffee ice cream but I’m sure I would get more no’s then when I gave them options… Do you see what I’m getting at? People tend to have different needs, and they tend to value different things. So why only offer one medical plan, when you can have two or three for the same cost?
Most employees will be thrilled that you gave them choices. Maybe they wanted a better drug card, or an improved network. Maybe the most important thing to them is paying the least amount possible. When you have employees from different walks of life they have different needs. Does a 25 year old go to the doctor as often as a 60 year old? NO, at least not usually but let them choose!
THE BEST PART IS… THIS DOESN’T COST YOU MORE MONEY!!! THIS IS A WAY TO OFFER MORE DIVERSE BENEFITS TO YOUR EMPLOYEES WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL COST!
IF YOUR BROKER DIDN’T MENTION THIS TO YOU ALREADY, YOU MIGHT WANT TO ASK HIM WHY!
