Why Employer Group Benefits Might Not Be Your Cheapest Option

When it comes to securing health insurance coverage, many individuals default to their employer's group benefits without considering other alternatives. However, what if I told you that your employer's group plan might not always be your cheapest option? In fact, for certain professions like teachers and public employees in New Jersey, purchasing health insurance through the Marketplace could potentially offer more affordable options, especially when considering income and subsidy eligibility.


At Monmouth Shore Agency, we're dedicated to helping you explore all your options and find the most cost-effective solution for your health insurance needs.


Understanding Employer Group Benefits

Employer-sponsored group health insurance plans are a common option for obtaining coverage. These plans typically offer a range of benefits and coverage options, with the employer often subsidizing a portion of the premium costs for employees. While group plans can provide valuable coverage, they may not always be the most cost-effective choice, especially for individuals with specific circumstances or eligibility for subsidies.


Exploring Marketplace Options for Teachers and Public Employees

In New Jersey, teachers and public employees may have access to health insurance plans through their employers. However, depending on their income level and eligibility for subsidies, purchasing coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace could potentially offer more affordable options. Subsidies, such as premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions, are available to individuals and families with incomes between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level, making Marketplace plans more accessible and affordable for many individuals.
