As you work with small business clients to evaluate their health coverage options, it's important to remember not every employer is a fit for a Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangement (MEWA) or the Anthem Balanced Funding (ABF) option. For many groups, Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans continue to offer a compelling combination of flexibility, affordability, and access to quality care.
Anthem’s ACA small group plans include a wide range of designs that can help employers balance budget considerations with employee expectations. Whether a client is looking for predictable coverage, broad provider access, or benefit options that support workforce recruitment and retention, ACA plans provide solutions tailored to meet diverse business needs.
Employers are also looking for benefits solutions that simplify administration. Anthem helps streamline day-to-day plan management through EmployerAccess, a centralized online platform where employers can manage enrollments, update employee information, access reports, and handle billing functions from a single location.
For employees, the healthcare experience extends beyond the ID card. Through anthem.com and the award-winning Sydney® Health app, members can view benefits, track claims, find care, access well-being resources, and connect with a doctor or licensed therapist from virtually anywhere. These digital tools help create a more convenient healthcare experience while empowering employees to take an active role in their health.
As the small group market continues to evolve, ACA plans remain an important solution for employers seeking comprehensive coverage and long-term stability. For groups that may not qualify for or prefer alternative funding arrangements, ACA plans can offer the right balance of choice, affordability, and support.
When discussing options with your clients, consider how ACA plans can help meet their unique business objectives while delivering a positive employee experience.
