Unlock Cost Savings with PEO-Managed Group Health Plans

The Challenge of Rising Healthcare Costs

Small and mid-sized businesses often face steep insurance premiums and limited plan options. With fewer employees, you’re seen as higher risk—driving costs up and benefits down.


How Risk Pooling Drives Savings

  • Companies band together under a single PEO umbrella
  • Health claims spread across a larger workforce
  • Insurers view the group as more stable, reducing per-person rates

This aggregated approach smooths out spikes in individual claims, allowing insurers to offer more competitive pricing to the entire group.


Plan Design Expertise: A PEO’s Secret Weapon

PEOs employ seasoned benefits specialists who:

  • Analyze your workforce demographics and needs
  • Craft a suite of plan options—HDHPs, HMO/PPO blends, and ancillary benefits
  • Negotiate network access, co-pay structures, and wellness incentives

Their deep industry relationships and benchmarking data ensure you’re never paying retail prices for premiums or stop-loss coverage.


Richer Benefits, Happier Employees

By leveraging PEO group plans, you can unlock:

  • Lower deductibles and co-pays without a premium spike
  • Enhanced preventive care and telehealth services
  • Employee assistance programs and wellness stipends
  • Seamless enrollment platforms and ongoing support

These perks boost morale, reduce turnover, and position your company as a top employer in your market.


Administrative Relief and Compliance Confidence

Beyond rate savings, a PEO handles:

  • Benefits administration and open-enrollment coordination
  • Regulatory filings and ACA compliance tracking
  • Claims resolution and ongoing vendor management

Freeing your HR team from these time-sinks lets them focus on strategic growth and employee engagement.


Taking the First Steps

  1. Assess your current health plan costs and employee satisfaction.
  2. Request a benefits audit from your PEO—compare total cost projections.
  3. Customize plan design workshops with PEO specialists.
  4. Communicate clear, transparent enrollment materials to your workforce.
  5. Launch your new group health plan and celebrate savings together.

Partnering with a PEO transforms healthcare from a financial burden into a strategic advantage. Take action today to secure better coverage, happier teams, and a healthier bottom line.
