Explore Your Small Business Health Insurance Options

Traditional (Fully Insured)
  • Overview: The insurer takes on all the risk, and you pay a fixed monthly premium. Predictable costs, but higher premiums may apply.
  • Who It’s For: Businesses seeking simplicity and stability in costs.
Level-Funded (Partially Self-Funded)
  • Overview: Combines the predictability of fully insured plans with the flexibility of self-funded options. Includes stop-loss protection for catastrophic claims.
  • Who It’s For: Businesses looking for cost savings and customization with a safety net.
Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs)
  • Overview: Allows employers to reimburse employees for qualified medical expenses, including individual insurance premiums.
  • Who It’s For: Employers who want to give employees more flexibility in choosing their health plans.

Level-Funded Plans (Partially Self-Funded)

Level-funded plans are becoming a popular option for small businesses due to their balance of financial predictability and potential cost savings. Here’s why they work for many companies.

  • Fixed Monthly Payments: Provides financial stability and easy budgeting.
  • Shared Risk & Reward: Share in both the risk and the potential reward of lower claims experience.
  • Stop-Loss Protection: Protects your business from large, unexpected claims.
  • Unused Funds Returned: If your claims are lower than expected, a portion of unused funds can be returned to you.
  • Significant Cost Savings: Many businesses experience substantial savings compared to traditional plans.
  • Customization: Tailor the plan to meet your employees’ unique needs.

Traditional Plans (Fully Insured)

Traditional fully insured plans are the most common choice for small businesses due to their simplicity and predictable costs. With these plans, the insurer assumes all the risk, providing peace of mind for business owners while ensuring your employees receive comprehensive healthcare coverage.

  • Fixed Monthly Premiums: You pay a consistent, predetermined premium, making it easy to manage and budget for healthcare costs.
  • No Risk for Your Business: The insurer takes on all the financial risk, covering all claims and giving you protection from unexpected high costs.
  • Predictable Costs: Enjoy the stability of knowing exactly how much you’ll spend on healthcare premiums, without surprises from fluctuating claims.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Traditional fully insured plans typically offer comprehensive coverage, ensuring your employees have access to a wide range of healthcare services.

Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs)

HRAs provide a flexible, tax-advantaged way for small businesses to offer health benefits. With HRAs, you can reimburse employees for qualified healthcare expenses, including individual health insurance premiums, without needing to purchase a group health plan.

  • Employee Flexibility:: Employees can choose their own healthcare plans and be reimbursed for eligible medical expenses, offering them more control over their healthcare choices.
  • Tax-Free Reimbursements: Reimbursements made through HRAs are tax-free, providing a cost-effective solution for both the employer and employees.
  • Control Over Spending: You control how much to reimburse, giving you the flexibility to budget your healthcare expenses while offering valuable benefits to your employees.
  • No Premium Payments: Unlike traditional insurance, HRAs allow you to reimburse expenses instead of paying monthly premiums, which can lead to significant savings.

Meet Bruno Nascimento

Hey there! I’m Bruno Nascimento, an independent insurance broker from Florida. Before founding Wellnest Insurance, I worked in a small business environment myself. I understand the struggles business owners face because I’ve lived them. Starting this business in 2010, I set out to help companies not just survive, but thrive by providing insurance that protects their most important asset—their people.

Today, I’ve built a reputation for working closely with small businesses, understanding their specific needs, and offering solutions that fit their budgets without sacrificing quality. I’ve always believed in a hands-on, transparent approach, and it’s my personal goal to simplify the insurance process for business owners who already have enough on their plates. My commitment is to help you take care of your employees just like I do with my own team here at Wellnest.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which health insurance plan is best for my small business?

As an expert in health insurance solutions for small businesses, I recommend starting with a detailed assessment of your team’s needs and your budget. Our consultation process helps you understand the pros and cons of each option—whether it’s a traditional fully insured plan, a level-funded option, or HRAs. By reviewing your employees’ healthcare usage and your financial goals, we’ll pinpoint the right plan that balances both coverage and cost-efficiency.

Why should I choose Wellnest Insurance over other brokers?

At Wellnest Insurance, I provide more than just policies—I deliver a personal, hands-on experience. You’ll work directly with me, and I’ll guide you through each step, from the initial quote to ongoing support. I believe in building long-term relationships, not just making a sale. My goal is to ensure you have a sustainable, affordable solution for your business while offering personalized service whenever you need it.

What is a level-funded plan, and why might it be beneficial for my business?

A level-funded plan can offer your business financial predictability while giving you the flexibility of a self-funded model. With stop-loss protection, you won’t face huge, unexpected costs, and if your claims are lower than expected, you may get a refund at the end of the plan year. Many small businesses appreciate the potential cost savings and customizable options that level-funded plans provide.

How does Wellnest Insurance help manage ongoing support after a plan is selected?

Unlike many brokers who disappear after you sign up, we stay engaged. I personally manage any issues that arise with your insurance plan, help with renewals, and handle any claims or questions that come up. This ongoing support is part of what sets Wellnest Insurance apart. I want to ensure that your team is consistently satisfied with the coverage and that the plan continues to meet your evolving needs.

What if my employees want flexibility in their health insurance options?

For businesses looking to offer flexibility, HRAs (Health Reimbursement Arrangements) can be a great option. They allow your employees to choose individual health plans that suit their needs while reimbursing them for qualified medical expenses tax-free. This gives your employees control over their healthcare while providing you with budgetary flexibility.

How does Wellnest ensure competitive pricing?

I work with a range of top insurance providers to ensure you get competitive quotes. By staying up to date with the latest offerings and negotiating on your behalf, I make sure that you’re paying a fair price for comprehensive coverage. Plus, I’m always looking for cost-saving strategies like level-funded plans or hybrid models that might better fit your business’s needs.

How long does it take to get a health insurance plan in place for my small business?

The time frame can vary depending on the size of your team and the complexity of your needs. Typically, after our initial consultation, we can provide you with quotes within 24-48 hours. Once you’ve selected a plan, the setup process takes anywhere from one to three weeks, depending on the carrier and the plan specifics.

Can I offer different health plans to different employees?

Yes, we can customize plans based on your team’s roles or coverage needs. You can offer a variety of options and tailor the contribution levels based on employee groups. This is common in businesses that want to offer enhanced benefits to senior employees while maintaining cost controls for other team members.

What makes your service unique compared to working directly with an insurance company?

When you work with Wellnest Insurance, you’re not dealing with a faceless corporation. You’ll have my direct contact for personalized service. If any issues arise, you won’t be put on hold with a customer service line—I’ll personally step in to resolve it. My role as a broker is to advocate for you and your employees, ensuring that you get the best possible service and value from your plan.

What if my small business grows—can the insurance plan scale with us?

Absolutely. We design plans with scalability in mind, ensuring they can grow alongside your business. Whether you expand from 10 to 50 employees or beyond, I’ll reassess your needs and adjust the coverage to match your growth. Having a flexible and scalable plan from the outset can save a lot of time and money as your team expands.

How can health insurance help me attract better talent?

Offering comprehensive health insurance can significantly boost your ability to attract and retain top talent. In today’s competitive job market, benefits like health coverage are often seen as just as important as salary. By providing robust healthcare options, you signal to potential employees that you value their well-being, which is a powerful recruiting tool.

How does Wellnest handle renewals and changes in plan requirements?

Each year, I conduct a thorough review of your current plan to ensure it’s still the best option for your business. If there are changes in healthcare laws or your team’s needs, I’ll provide recommendations for adjustments or alternative plans. This annual check-up ensures you’re never overpaying or stuck with an outdated plan.

Are there any tax benefits for offering health insurance to my employees?

Yes, providing health insurance to your employees can offer various tax advantages, such as deductible premiums and tax-free benefits for employees under HRAs. I’ll work with your financial team to ensure that you’re maximizing the tax benefits associated with offering health coverage to your team.

What happens if an employee leaves—how does their insurance work?

If an employee leaves your company, they may be eligible for COBRA, which allows them to continue their health insurance coverage at their own expense. I’ll guide you through the process of notifying employees of their rights under COBRA and help them transition smoothly if they choose to continue their coverage.

How do you ensure that the insurance plans you offer remain compliant with local and federal laws?

Health insurance regulations are constantly changing, but as part of my commitment to my clients, I stay updated on both state and federal laws. I ensure that all the plans we offer are fully compliant with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and any Florida-specific regulations, so you can rest assured that your business remains compliant while offering top-tier benefits.
