Health Insurance

Health Insurance

Health insurance benefits are a significant and vital component of any employee compensation package. Proper coverage can help ensure your and your family’s well-being as well as protect you financially in the event of a medical crisis.

Eber & Associates can help you choose the right policy to fit you and your family or your team.

Types of Health Insurance

Depending on your needs, there are two primary types of health insurance policies to choose from: group or individual health insurance.

Group Health Insurance

Group health insurance is provided by employers or through external organizations such as unions or other associations. Since risk is being shared among multiple people, it is typically less expensive (lower premiums) but has fewer customization options.

Depending on the size of your business, group health insurance can be a more affordable option for providing coverage. With group health insurance, employers pay a portion of the premium cost and the employee will pay the remainder.

Individual Health Insurance

Individual health insurance gives you more options regarding your coverage. While the costs of the premiums are higher due to the lack of employer contribution, there is more flexibility available.

Individual health insurance policies can also be applied to family members for an additional cost.
