Have you heard of using a PEO for health insurance?
What if you could offer your employees Fortune 500-level health insurance — without breaking the bank or losing hours navigating the healthcare marketplace?
For many small businesses, affordable health insurance feels out of reach. But partnering with a certified professional employer organization (PEO) like Axcet HR Solutions makes it not only possible but simple.
As one client shared:
If you’re wondering how PEO health insurance works and if it’s the right solution for your company, here are three things you need to know.
For small businesses, providing health insurance can feel like an insurmountable challenge. According to the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), health insurance is the biggest cost center after payroll.
A 2021 survey of small business owners across the U.S. revealed just how burdensome rising health insurance costs can be.
Stat: 55% of respondents cited the cost of providing health insurance to employees as the biggest challenge they face.
Here’s why PEOs make health insurance affordable:
PEOs like Axcet aggregate small businesses into a larger employee pool, leveraging collective buying power to negotiate better rates.
With UnitedHealthcare as Axcet’s partner, you gain access to premium, large-scale plans that are typically reserved for bigger companies.
Instead of going it alone and paying sky-high premiums, PEO health insurance allows you to provide competitive, traditional plans without the Fortune 500 budget.
Stat: Businesses that partner with PEOs experience, on average, a 10-14% reduction in health insurance costs compared to non-PEO businesses.
Stat: PEO clients are also 16% more likely to report an increase in profitability compared to non-PEO users.
