What health insurance options are available to small businesses in Rhode Island?
Rhode Island businesses with 1 to 50 eligible employees may be able to offer small-group health insurance through HealthSource RI. Employers can compare available plans, determine their contribution amount, and provide employees with coverage options that fit different healthcare needs.
Can employees choose different health insurance plans?
Depending on the employer’s selected coverage approach, employees may be able to choose from multiple participating health plans. This gives employees greater flexibility while allowing the business to set a defined contribution toward the cost of coverage.
How much does a small business need to contribute toward employee health insurance?
Employer contribution requirements can depend on the plans and coverage options selected. Businesses can generally choose how much they contribute while employees pay the remaining portion of their premiums. A broker or HealthSource RI representative can help explain current participation and contribution requirements.
