Help Your Employees Stay Healthy—and Help Your Business Stay Competitive
Offering health insurance can be one of the most valuable ways to attract dependable employees, reduce turnover, and show your team that their well-being matters.
But finding the right group health plan can feel complicated, especially for a small business. Chris Butler helps employers compare available options, understand the costs, and build an employee benefits package that makes sense for both the company and its employees.
Butler Insurance Network specializes in group employer health insurance for businesses with fewer than 50 employees.
Health Insurance Solutions Built for Small Businesses
Your business does not need hundreds of employees to offer meaningful health benefits.
Whether you have a small office, a growing construction company, a restaurant, a professional practice, or another locally owned business, Chris can help you explore group health insurance options based on:
- The number of eligible employees
- Employee and dependent coverage needs
- Employer contribution goals
- Preferred provider networks
- Deductible and copay preferences
- Prescription drug coverage
- Monthly budget
- Additional benefit options
There is no universal plan that works for every company. The goal is to find coverage that fits your workforce without placing unnecessary strain on your operating budget.
Why Offer Group Health Insurance?
A well-designed employee health plan can provide important advantages for both your business and your team.
Attract Better Employees
Health insurance remains one of the benefits job seekers value most. Offering coverage can help your company compete for qualified applicants.
Improve Employee Retention
Employees may be more likely to remain with a company when they feel valued and have access to dependable benefits.
Support a Healthier Workforce
Access to medical care can help employees address health concerns earlier and maintain their overall well-being.
Strengthen Your Company Culture
Providing employee benefits demonstrates that your company is invested in the people who help it succeed.
Create a More Complete Compensation Package
Health insurance can make your overall compensation package more attractive without relying entirely on salary increases.
Coverage Options for Your Employees
Depending on the plans available to your business, group health insurance may help cover services such as:
- Primary care visits
- Specialist appointments
- Preventive care
- Hospital services
- Emergency care
- Prescription medications
- Laboratory testing
- Diagnostic imaging
- Mental and behavioral health services
- Maternity and newborn care
Specific benefits, exclusions, provider networks, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan. Chris will help you review the details so you can make an informed decision.
More Than Medical Insurance
Your employee benefits package can include more than a traditional health plan.
Butler Insurance Network can also help you explore supplemental benefits such as:
- Dental insurance
- Vision insurance
- Life insurance
- Accident insurance
- Critical illness coverage
- Cancer insurance
- Short-term medical coverage
These additional options may help employees prepare for expenses that are not fully covered by their primary medical plan.
