What is Group Health Insurance Plan?


Group health insurance is a type of medical insurance package that covers group of people, or employees working in an organisation, or of a society or of a registered residential apartment. The plan covers medical benefits for the employees (insured), their spouse, their children and the dependent parents (if mentioned).

The consolidated premium is calculated on the basis of the headcount working in organisation, their nature of job and their area of operation. Although, the premium paid by the employer is tax deductible for the employer, nowadays, companies deduct a certain percentage of this premium from the employees’ salary.

If we have to compare the group health insurance against the individual plans, then the group health insurance plans are usually cheaper than the individual plans because the risk to the issuer is spread out to the entire group, making it affordable for both the parties i.e. the employer and the employees.

Value-Based Care and Behavioral Health Treatment

Image
For value-based care to provide truly holistic, coordinated care to patients, it must incorporate behavioral health treatment. This can result in improving the quality of health care for your employees, especially those with chronic medical conditions. Despite the benefits of integrating behavioral health treatment into value-based care, physical and behavioral medicine too often remain siloed in our health care systems — even under value-based care arrangements. The Need for Inclusive Treatment Comprehensive primary care has begun to seek ways to integrate behavioral health treatment to improve outcomes and cost-effectiveness. Behavioral health conditions frequently co-occur with chronic diseases, but these symptoms may be overlooked. Depression symptoms, for example, may be masked by other medical conditions. Patients with diabetes often receive mental health education along with diabetes education, since anxiety and depression are frequently associated with this...

Ways to Maximize Medicare Benefits

Image
Medicare is vital to the health of nearly 60 million Americans. Yet many of its benefits are overlooked, underused or misunderstood. Consider the annual "wellness" visit, during which a doctor will assess your health risks, take your blood pressure and other routine measurements, check for cognitive impairment, and offer personalized health advice. It's free. Yet less than 11% of Medicare beneficiaries took advantage of the benefit in 2012, according to the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice. Recent research suggests that number hasn't budged much since then. That's not the only Medicare benefit left lying on the examining table.
