Group Benefits & Insurance Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, no-jargon answers for Indiana employers comparing Traditional Group, Level-Funded, and ICHRA options. If you don’t see your question, ask us—we’ll help fast.

Getting Started

How Do We Choose Between Traditional Group, Level-Funded, And Ichra?

It comes down to control, cost predictability, and team size/health profile. Quick guide:

  • Traditional Group: Familiar & simple; often higher premiums.
  • Level-Funded: Fixed payments with potential refunds; great for healthy groups of 5–50.
  • ICHRA: You set allowances; employees choose compliant plans—ideal for mixed/remote teams.

We’ll model each side-by-side so you can see employer cost, employee impact, and network differences.

Can Very Small Teams (2–5 Employees) Offer Benefits?

Yes. We typically evaluate ICHRA or select Level-Funded options with light underwriting, depending on goals and budget.

What Information Do You Need To Quote Our Group?

Basic census (ages/ZIPs/dependents), desired start date, and a target monthly budget per employee. We’ll handle the rest.

Plan Options

When Does A Level-Funded Plan Make The Most Sense?

Groups of 5–50 with relatively healthy risk often see meaningful savings vs. traditional plans, plus refund potential in low-claim years.

How Does Ichra Work In Practice?

You set tax-advantaged allowances by class (full-time, part-time, remote, etc.). Employees select their own compliant plans; we manage setup, compliance, and education.

Already Have A Plan?

Can You Audit Our Current Plan And Compare Alternatives?

Absolutely. We benchmark your plan against Traditional, Level-Funded, and ICHRA to identify savings, better networks, and stronger employee choice.

Do You Work With Specific Carriers?

We compare multiple top carriers side-by-side and recommend options tailored to your team’s needs and Indiana geography.

Costs & Enrollment

How Do Employer Costs And Employee Payroll Contributions Get Set?

We’ll model employer contributions by dollar amount or % and show the impact on payroll. You get a clear side-by-side before deciding.

What Does Implementation Look Like?

Our team manages timelines, enrollment meetings, carrier paperwork, and ongoing support—so you can focus on your business.
