How to Offer SHOP Insurance to Your Employees

Open Enrollment may be over, but the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) is open year-round! There’s still time to get health coverage for your small business in 2020. Follow these three steps to get ready to enroll:
  1.  Visit HealthCare.gov to learn about SHOP. See if your business qualifies for SHOP coverage and how it can benefit your business. To find the best plan for your business and employees, consider the price, benefits, and features. You’ll also want to think about how much money you’re able to spend for group insurance and when you want coverage to start. Some businesses may also qualify for the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit!
  2. Talk to your employees. Ask your employees about their coverage needs. This will help you with your insurance decision, and you’ll get an idea of how many employees might participate.
  3. Get help. Licensed agents and brokers registered with SHOP can help you understand your insurance options and enroll in coverage at no additional cost to you or your employees. You can also enroll through your insurance company.
