Plan options
Plan designs we quote for Houston employers
Four ways to structure a group plan. Which one makes sense depends on your headcount, claims history, and how much risk you want to carry.
PPO

HMO / EPO
Lower-cost option with focused networks. Strong fit when your workforce is concentrated in one part of Greater Houston.
HDHP + HSA
Cost-saving strategy that pairs lower premiums with tax-advantaged employee savings.
Level-funded / Self-funded
For stable, healthier groups — potential surplus refunds with stop-loss protection built in.
