Is your business eligable for group coverage?
Under California law AB1672, small employers are guaranteed group coverage should they choose to purchase it, regardless of the employees' health status. A "small employer" is currently defined as a business with 1 to 100 full-time employees.
California state law AB1672 says that small employers cannot be denied coverage as long as they:
- Pay their premiums.
- Have been in business longer than two months.
- Offer medical insurance coverage to all eligible full- and part-time employees.
- Comply with insurer requirements regarding employer contribution and employee participation.
- Have not committed fraud against the insurer.
