Employee benefits are an important factor to any business in hiring
and retaining a good work force. Every Connecticut business needs to review periodically their employee benefit health insurance plan to ensure that this major expense continues to offer the highest quality group health insurance. |

We also will assist your benefit administrator in answering employees
questions and requests pertaining to health insurance. |
|
PPO Plan Overview (Group Health Insurance)
|
|
A PPO group health insurance plan is recommended
for businesses wanting to offer their employees convenient access to quality medical care with effective medical management, a large and diverse network of primary care physicians, medical specialists, hospitals and clinics. |
|
An employee can see any health care professional in
the network any time they choose to make an appointment. They don't need referrals for specialists or other services as required in an HMO. An employee can see doctors or specialists outside your PPO network, however, your employees portion of the costs will be higher. |
|
HMO Plan Overview (CT Group Health Insurance)
|
|
HMO group health insurance helps your Connecticut business control
health care costs through a closely managed plan with an emphasis on preventive care. Each employee selects a Primary Care Physician from a network of providers. The Primary Care Physician can coordinate the total care of the employee to help ensure appropriate care is received. An employee may also seek care from any provider in the network without a Primary Care Physician referral, subject to a higher out-of-pocket expense. |
|
Subscribers to an HMO receive medical services from participating
physicians, clinics and hospitals. An employee chooses a primary care physician from a list of participating doctors. That doctor is used for typical circumstances such as annual exams and usual health issues. If the employee needs to see a specialist, be hospitalized, or have lab or X-ray work, their doctor will refer them to a provider or facility within the HMO system. Your employees doctor must give authorization for those services to be covered by your HMO. In other words, an employee must see HMO approved physicians and use HMO approved facilities or pay the entire cost of the visit themselves. |
|
Similar to Point-of Service (POS) and PPO's, HMO's have made
arrangements for lower fees with a network of health care providers and give their policyholders a financial incentive to stay within that network. |
|
A POS group health insurance plan allows employees the option of
accessing any medical provider without a primary care physician referral and receive the highest benefit level. Similar to an HMO, it stresses preventive care and offers closely managed benefits. A POS health insurance plan also pays benefits for out-of-network care, but at a lower level than for in-network care. |
|
Costs that exceed the deductible are covered by a co-insurance plan in
which your employee and the insurance company share the cost for services covered by the policy. Also, some services such as emergency room, mental health and chemical dependency services, may carry additional costs in a POS health insurance plan. |
