Frequently Asked Questions

How much will employee benefits cost my business?

GroupHEALTH’s commitment is to give you the most cost-effective benefits plan -and to help you understand what’s driving the cost of your benefits. The cost of employee benefits always depends upon the coverages and coverage levels selected, and how the plan is used (claims) by employees. Because claims are such a significant factor in determining plan costs, GroupHEALTH specializes in plan features that help contain claims costs.

Though your plan design and claims experience will ultimately determine your plan costs, we often tell businesses to budget between $2,000 and $4,000 annually, per employee. This is based on both our own client base and independent research.

I already offer employee benefits, but I’m not sure I’m getting full value. Can you offer a second opinion?

Yes! GroupHEALTH’s plan and pricing analysts specialize in assessing plan performance. If you provide us with copies of information you already have – a copy of your current plan “booklet”, your last billing statement, and an overview of your employee composition – we can quickly assess whether you have the right plan for your business.

We’ll look at your whether you have the right coverages and coverage levels for your employee base; whether you have enough cost containment features in your plan to reduce your price risk;, whether you’re spending too much time on plan admin; and whether we can offer you more cost-effective solutions. Read more about our plan strategies.

My employees are a diverse group. Can I offer different coverages for different groups of employees?

Yes! GroupHEALTH specializes in plan designs specially-configured for each business, including plan components that can be turned on or off for each employees. Many of our clients offer different plan designs for management, work-from-home and in-office employees.

Even better, we offer plan components that allow employees to choose what they need – like Health Spending Accounts and Flex Plan packages – while capping costs for your business.

My business has never offered employee benefits before. Where do I start?

It starts with a short telephone conversation with our benefits experts. We’ll gather some basic information from you about your business, and then do some analysis to get you both a recommendation on coverages and coverage levels and a quote.

Evolve is one of Canada’s most effective “entry level” employee health benefits plans for small businesses. It’s a great way to offer standard coverages while choosing the plan “upgrades” that fit your business, and it can be set up quickly. Read more about Evolve.
