Health Insurance

Health Insurance  

Overview

Employees value health care, but providing ACA-compliant health care coverage may have been difficult or expensive for small and medium-sized businesses in the past. But no longer for you!

 

As a member of BIO or a participating state or regional association, you can enjoy an exclusive-members-only competitive advantage: offering your employees and their families complete major medical coverage that complies with all aspects of the Affordable Care Act.

 

Your employees get the advantage of working with a business that offers them a prized benefit: ACA-compliant coverage that may cost them less than they could find on their own.
