Why am I still paying after I hit my deductible?! 😵‍💫

Because your deductible and coinsurance are two different things.

Think of it this way:

💰 Deductible: The amount you pay before your plan starts sharing certain costs.

🤝 Coinsurance: Once you hit that deductible, you and your insurance company may split the bill — think 80/20.

🛑 Out-of-Pocket Maximum: The finish line. Once you reach it through covered, in-network expenses, your plan generally pays 100% of covered in-network services for the rest of the plan year.

Insurance language can feel like a foreign language. That’s why having a broker who will actually explain your benefits matters.

August flew by. 🦬

Before we head into September, here’s a quick benefits check for business owners:

Are you happy with your current benefits?
Are your employees?
Do you understand what you’re paying for?
Do you know what other options are available?

If any of those answers are “not really,” it may be worth taking a look.

A benefits review doesn’t mean you have to change anything. Sometimes it simply confirms you’re already in the right place — and sometimes it uncovers opportunities you didn’t know you had.

One of our favorite things about what we do is getting to work with businesses right here in our own communities.

We know the names behind the companies. We know how important every employee is. And we know that for a growing business, every dollar matters.

Bison Benefits & HR was built to give employers a local partner they can actually call when they need help.

No 1-800 number. No getting lost in the shuffle. Just people helping people.

Why consider voluntary benefits?

Because adding more choices for employees doesn’t always mean adding more cost for the employer.

Accident, critical illness, cancer, disability and life insurance can often be offered on an employee-paid basis — giving employees access to additional protection while allowing the employer to expand the overall benefits package.

More options. More flexibility. 🦬

It might still feel like summer outside, but benefits season will be here before we know it. ☀️➡️🍂

If your company has a fall or January renewal, NOW is the time to start thinking about:

• What worked this year?
• What didn’t?
• Are employees actually using their benefits?
• Are there benefits they’ve been asking for?
• Is your current strategy still competitive?

Open enrollment is much easier when you aren’t making every decision at the last minute.

“We’re too small to offer benefits.”

Maybe not. 👀

Small employers often have more options than they realize when it comes to health insurance, dental, vision, life, disability and voluntary benefits.

Our job is to shop the market, explain the options and help you decide what actually makes sense — without trying to fit every business into the same benefits package.

Because your business isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your benefits shouldn’t be either.

Why offer disability insurance?

Most of us insure our homes, cars and phones — but sometimes forget about the thing that pays for all of them: our paycheck.

Short-term and long-term disability coverage can help replace a portion of an employee’s income when an illness or injury keeps them from working.

And depending on the plan, employers may be able to offer it on an employer-paid OR voluntary basis.

Quick HR check-in for employers:

When was the last time you updated your employee handbook?

If the answer is “I’m not sure” or “we downloaded one off the internet a few years ago”... it may be time. 😬

Policies should reflect how your company actually operates TODAY — not how it operated five years ago.

When you’re competing for great employees, salary is only part of the conversation.

Health insurance. Dental. Vision. Life insurance. Disability. Supplemental benefits. PTO. Retirement.

Employees are looking at the whole package.

You don’t have to be a huge company to offer competitive benefits. You just need a strategy that makes sense for your business.

Why does employer contribution strategy matter?

Because you don’t necessarily have to pay the same percentage toward every health plan you offer.

Many employers choose a base plan, contribute a set amount toward it, and allow employees to “buy up” to richer plans if they want them.

It gives employees choices while helping the employer keep benefit costs predictable.
