Like this year we provide all employees BlueCross plan which is HSA plan with $3500 deductible, it is costing us about $157/employee + dental for $24.0., this plan does not cost anything to employee.
They also have option of selecting $2000 deductible with $30 office copay plan and employee pay the difference between the plans. But this year we are going to move to cash reimbursement.

We provide up to $100 per month for insurance coverage, we are too small for a group plan and feel like we have to provide something.

If you have not looked at it, give it a try and you will be surprised to see the number of options available. Since we are under 50 employees we are not required to offer any plans, I am guessing lot of people on this list will fall under that. Last year in Austin market there were just 2 providers offering plans and none of the plans were reasonable, this year there are lot of plans and some of them are reasonable. Big change in our market for sure. We are just planning to give fixed amount of $$ to each employee every month and let them buy the plan that meets their needs rather than forcing down two plans to everybody. Some of them may qualify for subsidy which they will have to let go if employer offers the plan. Is anybody else planning to do something like this? Are you guys seeing many more options in your market? Thanks, Tushar Patel 512-257-1077 www.westernbroadband.com
