Health insurance expenses may be one of the fastest-growing cost components for employers. Therefore, as much as they would like to, employers may find it impossible to offer their employees health insurance and still manage their business costs.
Fewer U.S. employers are offering health benefits, mostly because many new smaller employers (3-199 employees) have chosen not to pay for health insurance. Source: U.S. Government Accountability Office, “Fewer Employers Offer Health Benefits,” May 2007.
A limited benefit medical plan is a lower-cost alternative to major medical insurance. However, where traditional health insurance provides protection against preventative, regular and major or catastrophic medical events, limited benefit medical plans cover only certain routine medical expenses such as doctor's office visits, diagnostic tests and hospital confinement.
The Colonial Health Advantagesm plan is not designed to replace a major medical, other comprehensive and/or catastrophic plan. It is limited coverage that may not provide a reimbursement for all medical expenses a policyholder may incur.
This coverage may not be available in all states; product benefits vary by state. Policies have exclusions and limitations that may affect benefits payable. For cost and complete details, please see your Colonial Life benefits representative.
