The Kansas Insurance Department publishes a resource guide for consumers shopping for health insurance in Kansas. The publication provides basic information on types of insurance available, has lists of insurance providers, and even gives information on the number of complaints filed against specific Kansas insurance companies. Join an Existing Group. One of the easiest ways to get started with a health insurance program for your business is to do some research into already existing plans that you can become affiliated with. By joining an existing plan, you can save money on start-up costs since the existing plan will have already absorbed these costs.
Costs are also lower because of the reduced risk when expenses are spread over a larger group.
Check with professional groups, associations, chambers of commerce, economic development agencies, or other cooperatives about joining their group health plan. Work With Consultants or Brokers. Another way to go about finding health insurance for your employees is to hire a consulting firm that specializes in employee benefits and human resources outsourcing. If you are a manager with little free time to visit with dozens of companies about many different combinations of plans, you can contact an expert. These consultants will be able to find you the most cost-effective mix of benefits for your number of employees.
