Florida Group Health Insurance Information
Palomino Insurance Group has created a strong relationship with some
of the finest insurance carriers serving Florida, while maintaining our
primary focus of serving the employer's needs.
Most small businesses offering their employees Group Health insurance
plans contribute towards the cost of the coverage. Some pay for all of the
employees' premiums (for single coverage) and have the employees pay
the premium if they need coverage for their families.
Other small businesses pay a percentage of the
total health insurance premium cost.
As the cost of health care continues to increase
at a rate much faster than inflation, many large
employers and small businesses in Florida
choose to have their employees make a
contribution towards the cost of health insurance
coverage.
Managed Care vs. Fee-for Service
The health insurance plan that works best for your
business is determined primarily by your location,
the physicians and hospitals available through the
health insurance plan, options offered by each
insurance plan, and what your budget can accept.

Fee-for-Service (Group Health Insurance - Florida Business)
Fee-for-Service or major medical group health insurance provides
benefits up to a high limit for most types of medical expenses incurred,
subject to a deductible. Once the deductible is met, this type of group
health insurance plan will pay a percentage of what is considered the
"Usual and Customary" charge for covered services. The insurance
company generally pays 80% of the Usual and Customary costs and
you're responsible for paying the other 20%, which is known as co
insurance. If the insurance company charges more than the Usual and
Customary rates, you will need to pay both the co-insurance and the
difference.
Florida Fee-for-Service group health insurance allows your employee
to choose their doctor and any hospital for their medical services.
Usually, an employee will have a deductible such as $500 or more to
pay each year before the insurer starts paying. The plan will pay for
charges such as medical tests and prescriptions as well as from
doctors and hospitals.
Fee-for-Service health insurance coverages for employer sponsored
employee benefits in Florida typically offer the following:
* Employers and employees share premiums
* Employees have the freedom to choose any provider
* Insurance company pays the allowable claim
Fee-for-Service plans also offer some Managed Care type of insurance
options that can assist your Florida business in reducing employee
benefit costs.
* Case Management
* Second Surgical Opinion
* Pre-admission Certification
* Special Benefit Networks
Fee-for-Service group health insurance coverages offer more choice of
doctors (including specialists, such as cardiologists and surgeons),
hospitals, and other health care providers than managed care health
plans, such as HMO, PPO, and POS. Fee-for-Service employee health
insurance may not pay for some preventive care, such as check-ups,
and is usually a more expensive health insurance coverage than
utilizing an HMO, PPO, or POS plan in Florida.

PPO Insurance Plan (Florida Group Health Insurance)
A PPO group health insurance plan is recommended for a Florida
business desiring to offer their employees convenient access to quality
medical care with effective medical management, a large and diverse
network of primary care physicians, medical specialists, hospitals and
clinics.
An employee can see any health care professional in the network any
time they choose to make an appointment. They don't need referrals for
specialists or other services as required in an HMO. An employee can
see doctors or specialists outside your PPO network, however, your
employees portion of the costs will be higher.

An employee may have to pay some portion of the cost (co-payment)
for each office or hospital visit, such as $20 per doctor visit, regardless
of what the services cost. Also, some services such as emergency
room, mental health and chemical dependency services, may carry
additional costs in a Florida PPO health insurance plan.
PPO Plan Features (Florida Group Health Insurance)
* Convenient access to quality medical care for employees
* Large and diverse network available of primary care physicians,
specialists, hospitals & clinics.

HMO Insurance Plan (Group Health Insurance - Florida Business)
An HMO group health insurance plan helps your Florida business control
health care costs through a closely managed plan with an emphasis on
preventive care. Each employee selects a Primary Care Physician from
a network of providers. The Primary Care Physician can coordinate the
total care of the employee to help ensure appropriate care is received.
An employee may also seek care from any provider in the network
without a Primary Care Physician referral, subject to a higher out-of-
pocket expense.
Subscribers to an HMO receive medical services from participating
physicians, clinics and hospitals. An employee chooses a primary care
physician from a list of participating doctors. That doctor is used for
typical circumstances such as annual exams and usual health issues.
If the employee needs to see a specialist, be hospitalized, or have lab
or X ray work, their doctor will refer them to a provider or facility within
the HMO system. Your employees doctor must give authorization for
those services to be covered by your HMO. In other words, an
employee must see HMO approved physicians and use HMO approved
facilities or pay the entire cost of the visit themselves.

HMO Plan Features (Group Health Insurance - Florida Business)
* Preventive care emphasis
* Primary care physician coordinates the total care of the employee
Similar to Point-of Service (POS) and PPO's, HMO's have made
arrangements for lower fees with a network of health care providers
and give their policyholders a financial incentive to stay within that
network.

An employee may have to pay some portion of the cost (co-payment)
for each office or hospital visit, such as $20 per doctor visit, regardless
of what the services cost. Also, some services such as emergency
room, mental health and chemical dependency services, may carry
additional costs in a FloridaHMO health maintenance plan.

POS Plan Features (Group Health Insurance - Florida Business)
* Preventive care emphasis
* Pays benefits for out-of-network care, but at a lower level
POS Insurance Plan (Group Health Insurance - Florida Business)
A POS or Point-of-Service group health insurance plan allows your
Florida employees the option of accessing any medical provider without
a primary care physician referral and receive the highest benefit level.
Similar to an HMO, a POS stresses preventive care and offers closely
managed benefits. A POS health insurance plan also pays benefits for
out-of-network care, but at a lower level than for in-network care.
Costs that exceed the deductible are covered by a co-insurance plan in
which your employee and the insurance company share the cost for
services covered by the policy. Also, some services such as emergency
room, mental health and chemical dependency services, may carry
additional costs in a Florida POS health insurance plan.
