WHY EPRO

Coverage that works harder for your business

We help employers control costs without shortchanging their teams. Here's how.

Tax advantages

Group health premiums can often be paid with pre-tax dollars, lowering taxable income for the business and improving take-home efficiency for employees. Actual savings depend on your plan setup and applicable tax rules.

 

Multi-carrier shopping

Rather than relying on a single insurer, we compare across many carriers to find competitive pricing and stronger coverage — matched to your group size and risk profile.

 

Self-funded options

Self-funded plans let employers pay actual claims instead of fixed premiums — often reducing overall cost for healthier groups, with more transparency and control.

 

Year-round enrollment

Add or update employees anytime — no waiting for a traditional open-enrollment window. Ideal for growing companies and seasonal hiring.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How many employees do I need to offer a group plan?

Requirements vary by carrier and state, but many group plans are available for small businesses — sometimes with as few as one or two eligible employees. We'll check what you qualify for based on your location and team size.

How much can my business actually save on taxes?

It depends on your plan structure, contributions, and applicable federal and state rules. Group premiums are often paid with pre-tax dollars, which can lower taxable income for both employer and employees. We'll walk through the specifics for your situation — and recommend confirming details with your tax advisor.

What's the difference between fully-insured and self-funded?

With a fully-insured plan you pay fixed premiums to a carrier who covers claims. With a self-funded plan your business pays actual claims directly, which can cost less for healthier groups and offers more transparency — though it carries more variability. We'll help you decide which fits your risk comfort.

Can I add employees after the plan starts?

Yes. One of the advantages of working with us is year-round flexibility — new hires can typically be added when they join, without waiting for an annual enrollment window.
