Affordable Health Care Coverage For You And Your Team
Our employer-sponsored group health insurance plans allow you to cover all your employees and their family members.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) has the flexibility and choice that growing companies need. BCBSTX provides Texas small business employers with a variety of health care plan options that include access to a large network of providers and comprehensive benefits to fit your employees’ needs and your organization’s budget.
Small Business Health Insurance Group Plan Options
When it comes to health plans, “metal” tiers easily identify how costs are split between the insurance company and the insured.
Plan options within each metal tier include Participating Provider Option (PPO) and Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) choices. Learn more about the differences between these options:
PPO
PPO plans allow members more flexibility than an HMO to see specialists. Members can choose a primary care physician (PCP).
HMO
Members in HMO plans choose a primary care physician (PCP) who coordinates the patient's care. To see specialists, members need a referral from their PCP.
Network Offerings
Our plan offerings leverage different networks of providers in order to create plan options that fit any small business budget*.
