To help your clients find the plan design that’s right for them, choose the scenario that best describes their needs:

They're looking to provide their employees with a set of rich benefits and a plan that’s simple to administer. They understand the premium is higher, but it’s worth giving their employees a copay plan that’s easy to use.

They want comprehensive coverage with lower premiums while taking the first step toward getting their employees more engaged in their health care decisions. They can do this by introducing a low deductible for employees to meet before a traditional health plan takes over with copays and/or coinsurance, protecting them from serious health care related expenses.

They’re looking to provide their employees with quality health benefits. While their premium will be lower, there are additional deductibles and increased out-of-pocket costs associated with some benefits. The good news is most of these plans can be combined with a tax-savings program, such as a health savings account (HSA) or a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA), to help their employees build savings for future medical needs.

They want quality health benefits at the lowest premium cost, and they understand this might require greater out-of-pocket cost share from their employees. These plans are high-deductible designs that will help their employees become more engaged in their health and the health care decisions they make. They, too, may provide the opportunity their employees to save for their long-term health care needs with an HSA or HRA.
