“Which are the 2020 Best Small Business Health Insurance Plans NYC?”

2020 brings many options for New York City based small business health insurance, which is good news for employers and employees alike.  While this seems like a simple question, the answer is far from simple. Why you might ask? That’s because ‘the best’ is a loaded question.  Does it mean the lowest price? Does it mean the largest network? Does it mean it has your primary care doctor?  What if the owner’s doctors are on the plan but not the employees, or vice versa? Does my small business even meet the carrier’s participation requirement?

Getting a 2020 small business health insurance plan in NYC that meets all of your criteria as well as meeting the carrier’s underwriting guidelines, takes a health insurance broker with experience and a good ear who is willing to listen to your concerns. Having helped thousands of clients over the years manage their group health insurance, we suggest you follows these simple few steps so you can put together the ‘BEST’ health plan for your small business.
