Group Health
Group Health insurance is a health insurance plan established or maintained by an employer or a member organization to provide medical care for participants and their dependents.
This type of insurance typically provides insurance at a reduced cost because the insured risk is spread across the group of participants. Group health insurance plans come in various forms that differ based on which doctors you can use, the amount of deductibles and the party that will pay the medical claims. With the passing of the Affordable Care Act everyone is required to have health insurance coverage.
Group Health Plans can include:
1.
Medical Insurance
2.
Dental Insurance
3.
Vision Insurance
Type of Group Health Plans are:
Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) - Covers most medical treatment, but requires you to identify a primary care physician for your basic treatment. If your care requires a specialist, you must get a referral from your primary care physician to see a specialty doctor for additional advice and treatment. The primary care physician and the medical specialist must be within the HMO's network of healthcare providers. HMO's typical cost less but restrict your choices and require you to follow a process to get access to medical specialties.
Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) - Covers most medical treatment and gives you the freedom to choose your doctors and specialists within or even outside of the PPO's network without requiring a referral from a primary care doctor. PPO's typically cost more and require more of your involvement to find specialty doctors and coordinate appointments, but you can choose which doctors you want to see, when you want to see them.
High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)/Health Savings Account (HSA) - Covers most medical treatment by using a HMO, PPO, EPO or POS, but has a much higher deductible and out-of-pocket limits to pay before receiving any coverage from the health insurance plan. Once you reach the out-of-pocket limits for the year the plan covers 100% of your care for the remainder of the year.
(continued) HDHP are lower in cost for each of the plan types because the insurance coverage only provides payments once the out-of-pocket limits and deductibles have been met. Many of the HDHP plans offer a tax advantaged health savings accounts to help pay the deductible and out-of-pocket expenses. The money you place in an HSA account is not taxed and can be used tax-free for eligible medical costs. You must be enrolled in a HDHP to have an HSA account.

Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) - Covers most medical treatment, but is a hybrid of the HMO and the PPO plans. The EPO has the freedom to not commit to a primary doctor or get a referral from a doctor before seeing a specialist, but you must use the selected doctors that the EPO network offers. EPO's still has many of the freedoms and costs less than a PPO, but they are still higher in cost than the HMO.​
Small Business Group Health - Businesses under 50 employees can get coverage for primary health care, laboratory services and physical exams.
​
Self-Funded Group Health - Typically this is only used by large businesses that cover all of the employee health care costs and other benefits using their own funds.
