Introduction
Good employees have options. One of the clearest ways to stand out as an employer - especially in the Hanover, York, and Adams County area - is to offer health benefits that people actually value. Kristy Hicks has helped local business owners set up small group plans that work for their budget without short-changing their team on coverage.
What Small Group Insurance Covers
Small group health plans cover the same essential health benefits as individual plans: doctor visits, hospital stays, emergency care, prescription drugs, preventive services, and more. Many plans also offer dental and vision add-ons. The key difference is cost - by pooling employees together, group plans typically deliver more coverage per dollar than individual plans.
How It Works
As the employer, you choose a plan (or a selection of plans) and contribute toward the monthly premium. Employees pay the remainder through payroll deduction. We'll help you decide how to structure the cost-sharing so it's affordable for both sides.
Do You Qualify?
In Pennsylvania, small group plans are available to businesses with 1–50 full-time equivalent employees. You'll need at least one employee enrolled beyond the owner. We'll walk you through the eligibility requirements and help you determine which plans are available to your group.

Being self employed comes with lots of perks. Health insurance is not one of them. However, Kristy makes it so easy. She is knowledgeable and knows exactly how to find the coverage that's right for you. It's reasonable and worry free. We would highly recommend Kristy and her team.
