What is the difference between group insurance and individual plans?
What is the difference between group insurance and individual plans?
Group insurance plans cover groups of two or more people — which may include an employer, two or more employees, and their families. Individual insurance is a health plan that covers a single employee, with an option to add coverage for that employee's eligible family members. If the business consists only of a single consultant, freelancer, or sole proprietor, individual insurance may provide necessary medical coverage in a situation where group health coverage may not be available. Individual policies can also be tailored to the individual employee's needs, and employees can shop around for their ideal individual health insurance provider instead of using one chosen by their employer.
