GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE
UECP has a very competitive group health insurance program for its members.
By offering health insurance to your employees you will improve your ability to attract and retain qualified staff. However, health insurance is a huge challenge because it is very expensive and
may be prohibitive to offer. You may be one of those practices that has experienced that your health insurance premiums were reasonable the first year, but jumped significantly when it came up for renewal the following year.
UECP's group health insurance program is exclusive. So whether you have a single practice or five practices, you will be able to offer more to your employees.
Under UECP's group health insurance plan, each practice will have the ability to offer multiple plans and designs to its employees, such a: PPOs, HMOs and health savings accounts (HSAs).
To get started, ask your current employees about their interest in health insurance and benefit features, including the importance of drug plans, deductibles, copayments and choice of physician. Don't forget about dental and life insurance, they too are available and affordable.
