I tried to go thru the Healthcare.Gov site and couldn’t really figure out how to navigate the plans for my employees.
Are there some companies/agents that would work with us to provide benefits? I would also like to offer 401k and other retirement plans as well
Any place to help get started would be appreciated.
Two thoughts
Make another pass at the SHOP site (healthcare.gov). The subsidies are real and substantial if your company qualifies. IMHO, Working with other health insurance companies and brokers will be at least as complex as the SHOP site.
Contact BCBS of VA directly, BCBS of NC has a great small business plan they sell directly to owners and are easy to work with. We moved from United a few years back and it’s really great.
Also keep in mind that most Brokers represent the companies that pay them best, they’re mostly sharks that way and you’re are just bait fish to them.
It’s all VERY expensive so there’s no way around that bit!
