Challenges to Overcome to Implement a Group Health Plan for Employees

For a start-up or small business offering group health insurance policy for the first time to its employees, the task may seem a tricky one. The group health insurance segment offers multiple options and features, but, choosing the right plan for your business and then implementing it in the right manner poses a challenge. Let us look at some of the top challenges a business must overcome to implement a group health plan for employees.

Changing Market Dynamics

Remote working conditions have now become a norm. Workforces have gone mobile globally. Thus, offering employee benefits, especially employer employee insurance requires more detail. Companies with workforces situated in various parts of the globe are now increasingly opting for international health insurance plans. 

For homegrown businesses with a workforce in various parts of the country, employers are now focusing on additional benefits like telehealth features and app-based claim settlement procedures.

Selection of the Right Plan

The main aim of any business while choosing and implementing a group medical insurance for employees is to maintain a balance between costs and benefits. Companies are now moving over from traditional group health insurance policy and offering more comprehensive ones which include wellness benefits. 

Wellbeing programs focus on preventive medicine and healthy living, thus increasing employee productivity. It may also help detect the disease, if any, at a pre-emptive stage. This reduces the overall claim possibility. Choosing the right balance of cost and benefits is a major business decision.

Usage of the Plan

When a company offers a comprehensive group insurance plan, it must be ensured that the workforce is making use of it. Otherwise, the employer ends up paying the premium for no reason. Thus, whenever, the company introduces a new group insurance plan, or renews it with additional features, the employees must be well-educated about the same. They should be informed about the benefits, how can they use it, where can they use it, etc.

Claim Process

When an employee claims group insurance, he/she is already going through tough times. A tedious claim settlement process is the last thing that he would want to encounter. A modern claim settlement process with cloud-native technology can streamline the complete process and simplify data exchange at a faster rate. Thus, automated processes which eliminate time-consuming processes should be selected.

Renewal

Renewal of group health insurance policy can be tiring too. At the end of each year, the company needs to decide whether to continue with the existing plan or go for a different one. There are broadly two factors that should be considered when going for a renewal.

- The loss ratio: A policy’s loss ratio can be determined by understanding the value a business receives from the plan versus the cost it incurs.

- Benchmarking: Benchmark the policy’s performance, premium amounts, benefits offered, etc., with the competitors.

Conclusion

When you implement a group health plan for employees, there would be a set of many other challenges that you may face. The challenges are not necessarily restricted to only the above points. However, the above challenges could be a good starting point while embarking on this journey of employer employee insurance.
