Massachusetts Health Connector for Business – health coverage options for small employers

Small businesses that want to offer affordable, quality health insurance to employees can learn about cost-effective options from the Massachusetts Marketplace – Health Connector for Business. During this session, representatives from the Commonwealth’s Health Connector will detail how small employers (those with 50 or fewer employees) can compare plan designs that provide comprehensive benefits with options that give employees flexibility to pick the plan that best meets their needs. They’ll discuss ways small employers may be able to save money on monthly premiums, learn about federal tax credits and 15 percent rebates available to some employers through the state’s ConnectWell program.

Whether you currently offer health coverage and are looking for a better plan, or you want to offer health insurance for the first time, know that you can enroll online or get free assistance from a local broker. The Health Connector is ready to help you find a great plan for your company and your employees. Learn more at: Business – Massachusetts Health Connector (mahealthconnector.org)

This informative webinar is offered at no cost and is being sponsored in partnership with the North Shore Alliance for Economic Development and the Massachusetts Office of Business Development (MOBD).
