Why Smart Arizona Employers Offer Group Coverage
Group health insurance isn't just good for your employees — it's one of the smartest investments you can make in your business.
Tax Advantages
Employer premium contributions are fully tax-deductible. Employees pay their share pre-tax, reducing payroll taxes for both parties.
Attract & Retain Talent
Health benefits are the #1 factor employees consider when evaluating a job offer. Offering group coverage gives you a competitive edge.
Lower Group Rates
Group plans spread risk across all employees, resulting in significantly lower premiums than individual plans for the same coverage.
Guaranteed Issue
Employees cannot be denied coverage or charged more based on health status — everyone on the plan gets the same rate.

Group Health Insurance FAQs
How many employees do I need to offer group health insurance?
In Arizona, you generally need at least 2 eligible full-time employees (including the owner) to qualify for a small group plan. Some carriers require a minimum of 1 non-owner employee. We'll help you determine eligibility based on your specific situation.
How much does group health insurance cost for a small business?
Costs depend on the number of employees, their ages, the plan type, and how much of the premium you choose to cover. On average, Arizona small businesses contribute 50–80% of employee premiums. We'll run a full comparison to find the most cost-effective options.
Am I required to offer health insurance to my employees?
Businesses with fewer than 50 full-time equivalent employees are not required by the ACA to offer health insurance. However, offering coverage is one of the most powerful tools for attracting and retaining quality employees.
Can I offer different plan options to my employees?
Yes — many employers offer a choice of two or three plans (e.g., an HMO and a PPO) so employees can select the coverage that fits their needs and budget. We'll help you design a benefits package that works for your team.
When can employees enroll in the group plan?
New employees typically have a 30–60 day window to enroll when they're first hired. After that, they can make changes during the annual open enrollment period or after a qualifying life event (marriage, birth of a child, etc.).

We work with all major Arizona group health carriers including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and others. As an independent broker, we compare all options to find the best fit for your business.
