Employer FAQs.
"We have witnessed many business owners saving up to 50% on premium, so we know this can be a large benefit for your small employers (businesses that employ 2-49 full times employees). This is a great advantage to employer groups that only have a few employees and can't afford age rated higher premium plans."
