Small Business Group Benefits in Chandler, AZ

What to know before you choose

Group benefits are not all or nothing. A small employer can start with one piece, such as a group health plan, or with lower cost benefits like dental, vision, life or supplemental coverage that employees value, and build from there. Viola lays out what a starter package and a fuller package would cost, so you choose with real numbers.

Group health plans have their own rules: participation and contribution requirements set by the insurance company, waiting periods for new hires, and renewals each year. Some employers prefer to contribute to employees' individual coverage instead of buying a group plan; there are specific arrangements for that, with their own rules, and Viola explains when they may fit.

Voluntary benefits are a useful tool. Dental, vision, life, critical illness, hospital indemnity and short-term care can be offered so employees choose and pay for what they want through payroll deduction. That gives your team access to group coverage while keeping your own costs predictable.

Then comes the part most brokers skip: education. Viola explains the benefits to your employees in plain language, at enrollment and afterwards, so they know what they have, how to use it and what it covers. Fewer confused employees means fewer questions landing on the owner's desk.

She stays with you through the year: adding new hires, handling changes, helping employees with claims questions, and reviewing every renewal so you are not simply accepting an increase. When someone leaves, she can help them compare COBRA with an individual plan.
