One of Obamacare’s goal is for small business owners to find health insurance benefits for their staff just like businesses with bigger operations that may have more profit and revenue compared to a smaller private physical therapy office. Nitin Chhoda, a licensed physical therapist and international private practice marketing expert recently released the options in finding clinical staff health insurance benefits.
Denville, NJ (PRWEB) December 01, 2013
“With the increasing costs of premiums, deductibles and co-pays, many employees will consider the cost and coverage acceptable, rather than having no coverage at all. Practice owners, even those in physical therapy practice, should be noted though that these aren’t considered full insurance benefits plans and don’t meet the government mandated criteria,” said Chhoda.
According to the Affordable Health Care Act or Obamacare, businesses who do not supply health insurance options to their staff face serious fines. However, many business owners in all industries are choosing to pay the penalty in order to avoid providing health insurance options for their employees.
This method causes the risk of losing better staff that could do great things for the small business. There are also some businesses that are not opting out of paying the penalty and experimenting with a variety of healthcare options to retain staff and comply with the law.
Chhoda added that when experimenting with different insurance plans, clinicians should know that the act does not require spouses to be covered. The assumption with the Affordable Health Care Act is that spouses will find their own coverage through their own employer. More information can be easily processed with the help of an EMR system.
According to Chhoda, the Internal Revenue Service proposed rules to take effect in 2014 which indicates that an employer-sponsored plan is affordable if it doesn’t exceed 9.5 percent of the individual’s household income. This means that practice owners have more parameters to know which health insurance packages and options are right for their staff without spending too much money for unnecessary healthcare plans.
He noted that there are definitely many options for physical therapy business owners to choose from and many factors to consider when choosing a plan that is right for their staff.
The most important thing to remember is that there are options that are right for the staff and right for the business. Doing extensive research could be better for the business and maintaining the best staff is important in order to keep striving to find healthcare plans that fit everyone’s needs.
