New Hampshire Group Health Insurance
(also Maine & Massachusetts)
Gorman Insurance and Risk Management Services has
created a strong relationship with some of the finest
insurance carriers serving New Hampshire and
surrounding states, 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 New Hampshire 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.

PPO Insurance Plan (Group Health Insurance - New Hampshire Business)

A PPO group health insurance plan is recommended for a New Hampshire
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 New Hampshire
PPO health insurance plan.
PPO Plan Features (Group Health Insurance - New Hampshire Business)

* 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 - New Hampshire Business)

An HMO group health insurance plan helps your New Hampshire 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 - New Hampshire 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 an New
Hampshire HMO health maintenance plan.

POS Plan Features (Group Health Insurance - New Hampshire Business)
* Preventive care emphasis
* Pays benefits for out-of-network care, but at a lower level
POS Insurance Plan (Group Health Insurance - New Hampshire Business)

A POS or Point-of-Service group health insurance plan allows your New
Hampshire 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 POS health
insurance plan.

Fee-for-Service:
Managed Care:
Fee-for-Service (Group Health Insurance - New Hampshire 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.
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 New Hampshire 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 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 New Hampshire.

benefit costs.

* Second Surgical Opinion
* Pre-admission Certification
* Special Benefit Networks
