The New York State of Health (NYSOH) Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) Marketplace offers small businesses a streamlined platform to provide health insurance, aligning with Super Senior Services’ mission to deliver affordable, excellent coverage. Using NYSOH SHOP benefits employers and employees, particularly those with Medicare-eligible workers, by simplifying access to quality plans.

Access to Competitive Plans: NYSOH SHOP provides a variety of ACA-compliant group plans from top insurers like UnitedHealthcare and Empire BlueCross, covering essential benefits such as hospital care, doctor visits, prescription drugs, dental, and vision. Plans feature low copays and $0 deductibles, making healthcare accessible for employees. For businesses with seniors or disabled workers, Super Senior Services coordinates NYSOH plans as secondary coverage to Medicare, ensuring comprehensive benefits without overlap. The community-rated premium structure ensures fair pricing, regardless of employee age or health status.

Tax Credit Savings: Employers with fewer than 25 FTEs, average wages below $56,000, and at least 50% premium contributions qualify for the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit, covering up to 50% of premiums. This can save thousands annually (e.g., $10,000 for $20,000 in premiums). Super Senior Services verifies your eligibility and selects NYSOH SHOP plans to maximize this credit, enhancing affordability. Unlike direct insurer purchases, NYSOH plans guarantee credit eligibility, a key financial advantage.

Flexibility and Simplicity: NYSOH SHOP allows year-round enrollment for businesses with 1–100 employees, offering flexibility to adjust coverage as your workforce changes. The platform’s comparison tools simplify plan selection, and Super Senior Services enhances this with personalized consultations, analyzing premiums, deductibles, and networks. For employees needing out-of-state care, we recommend PPOs with broad networks, ensuring accessibility. Our expertise streamlines enrollment, reducing administrative burdens and ensuring compliance with New York’s stringent regulations.

Employee Benefits: Offering NYSOH SHOP plans boosts employee satisfaction and retention, especially for Medicare-eligible workers who value coordinated coverage. Plans include wellness programs and preventive care, supporting health outcomes. Employees ineligible for group plans (e.g., part-timers) may access individual NYSOH plans with Premium Tax Credits, and we guide them to avoid coverage gaps. Our annual benefit reviews ensure plans remain cost-effective and relevant.
