California Large Group Medical Insurance

By Jeannie Monette


Group health insurance contracts can be renewable each year, and the insurance laws of the state provide for this as mandated, provided also that the employee is not remiss with the premium payments. It can be at the employer's discretion to continue providing group health insurance to their employees, but if they are considered large employers or those with 50 or more employees, they are obligated to offer this to their employees. Those considered small employers, or with less than 50 employees can opt to continue with providing the group plan, although this can also be the better motivation factor they can offer to employees.

Insurance premium rates to be paid will be determined on the amount of participation in the cost of premiums to be shouldered by the employers and other factors that are to be considered. History of previous claims can also affect the amounts of insurance premiums to be paid. Past histories of claims made, not necessarily with the individual beneficiary only but the whole group as well, can have influence on the amount of insurance premiums. Overall costs of providing the health insurance coverage, especially if these are continuously rising, can also have influence on the premium costs.

It can even be observed that other companies, those not qualified to avail of the group plan, or with employees of less than 50, are also offering some sort of insurance plans to their employees. They see it as a good way of attracting the best employees available and also the better way of motivating present employees to perform their best, because of the many medical and health benefits they can avail of.

There are also states or also insurance providers that allow employers with less than 50 employees under their employ to avail of a group medical coverage, although may be with some restrictions, as provided for in the contracts. Premium rates may be somewhat different in these kinds of group medical plans, as provided for in insurance regulations and in the state where the company is situated.

There are also group insurance plans that give comprehensive care to employees and even to direct beneficiaries of the employees. This may be the more expensive type in a way, but with the many medical and health benefits that employees get, they may not be at a disadvantage at all. Employers can get discounts from insurance providers, thus may not also be exactly more expensive after all.

Whatever it is, employees can avail of better benefits if they are on a company's group health insurance plan. However, if ever they leave the group plan, they can still avail of the individual health coverage.
