Most people have a general idea of the nature of ‘group’
coverage. The most common type of group coverage is provided via employment.
Many employers provide group health coverage as a benefit to their employees,
either by paying the entire premium or sharing in the premium.
In a group situation, a single policy covers a specific
group of people as opposed to a single person as individual policies
do. Because of this special nature, insurance companies have to make
certain that the number of people covered by a group policy stays at
or above a certain level.
There are many different types of groups that may be
considered, but for our purposes we will consider an employer/employee
group. A single master policy is issued to an individual or entity representing
the group of people.
If a group policy covers occupational illness and/or
injury, the degree of occupational hazard becomes an important factor.
Again, the higher the occupational hazard, the higher the rate.
Businesses that offer group coverage are subject to
certain provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1985 (COBRA). In most cases, if an employer discontinues group
insurance, employees must be given the opportunity to convert to individual
insurance without a medical exam.
