We price the same three funding models big benefits teams evaluate, built for teams of 1 to 50.
Three steps, about a week end to end, and nothing owed to us at any point.
Employee ages and ZIP codes. That's genuinely it, no health questionnaires needed to get started, and nothing that commits you to anything.
We compare the plans available to your group across the carriers competing for North Carolina small business, plus level-funded and ICHRA structures where they fit, and put them side by side.
Enrollment, employee questions, paperwork, and then renewals every year after. You get a broker who answers the phone, not a ticket number.
Insurance is regulated state by state, so the honest answer to "what will this cost" always starts local.
North Carolina uses the federal exchange, Healthcare.gov. There is no state-run exchange, and it lists only on-exchange individual plans, never the group or off-exchange market.
North Carolina expanded Medicaid in December 2023, one of the last states to do so. Adults up to roughly 138% of the federal poverty level generally qualify, which closed the old coverage gap for lower-wage staff.
North Carolina's small-group market is dominated by one Blue carrier, with national carriers competing in a growing number of counties. Because concentration varies by county, quotes here differ more by location than in most states.
North Carolina expanded Medicaid in December 2023, so some lower-wage employees may qualify for coverage on their own up to roughly 138% of the federal poverty level. That can reduce the number of people you need on the group plan and make participation requirements easier to meet.
Carriers file rates by rating area, so the same plan prices differently across Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, Greensboro, and Asheville. If your team is spread out, that spread shows up inside your own quote, and it is worth getting the census right.
Shopping for yourself rather than a team? Our North Carolina individual and self-employed guide covers marketplace, off-exchange, and underwritten options.
Most brokers quote one of these. We price all three against your actual roster and tell you which wins.
Fully-insured coverage with a fixed monthly premium and guaranteed-issue protection for groups of 1 to 50. The most predictable option, and still the strongest recruiting statement in most hiring markets.
Priced to your own group's health rather than the community pool, with stop-loss insurance capping your exposure. A healthy year can return money to the business. Rewards younger, healthier teams.
You set a tax-free monthly allowance, employees buy their own individual plans with it. No minimum participation requirement, fixed budget, and it works for teams spread across multiple states.
A few of the industries that come to us most often here, and what tends to drive the decision in each.
Charlotte's banking and fintech ecosystem runs on small firms and contractors, where a strong plan is what wins candidates from larger employers.
How we approach it: We price fully insured against level funded on the real census, and say plainly which the roster supports.
Research Triangle labs, CROs, and biotech startups hire technical staff who compare benefits closely and expect real coverage.
How we approach it: We quote every structure that could fit and spell out the trade-off in each rather than leading with one product.
Piedmont Triad plants and suppliers need plans that work for hourly workforces, where affordability at the employee tier decides participation.
How we approach it: We start by sorting who is actually eligible, then price only the structures that survive that answer.
Charlotte and Raleigh growth keeps builders and specialty trades hiring, often with crews spread across several counties and rating areas.
How we approach it: We model the options side by side and tell you which one we would choose if it were our own payroll.
The questions North Carolina owners actually ask us first.
Send a census, ages and ZIP codes, and we'll come back with the options that actually fit. No fee, no obligation, and a straight answer about which structure wins.
