Plan Overview and Coverage Options
Aetna offers a range of health insurance plans tailored to the needs of small businesses. These plans provide comprehensive coverage for medical expenses, including doctor visits, hospital stays, and prescription drugs.
To help you choose the right plan for your business, we’ve created a table comparing the coverage options, premiums, and deductibles for each plan.
Plan Comparison
| Plan | Coverage | Premium | Deductible |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | Basic coverage for essential health benefits | $300 per month | $2,000 |
| Silver | More comprehensive coverage than Bronze, including some preventive care | $400 per month | $1,500 |
| Gold | Most comprehensive coverage, including low deductibles and copayments | $500 per month | $1,000 |
The type of plan that’s right for your business will depend on your budget and the number of employees you have.
For example, if you have a small business with a tight budget, the Bronze plan may be a good option. This plan provides basic coverage for essential health benefits, and the premiums are relatively low.
If you have a larger business with more employees, you may want to consider the Silver or Gold plan. These plans offer more comprehensive coverage, including preventive care and lower deductibles.

Cost and Affordability
Aetna’s small business health insurance plans are designed to provide comprehensive coverage at competitive rates. The costs associated with these plans vary depending on factors such as the number of employees, the level of coverage selected, and the location of the business. To help small businesses manage these costs, Aetna offers a range of cost-saving strategies.
Premium Costs
Premiums are the monthly payments made by the employer to the insurance company. The premium amount is determined by the factors mentioned above. Small businesses can compare quotes from multiple insurers to find the most affordable option. Aetna offers competitive premium rates and provides discounts for businesses that enroll a certain number of employees.
Deductibles
A deductible is the amount the policyholder must pay out-of-pocket before the insurance coverage begins. Higher deductibles typically result in lower premiums. Small businesses can choose a deductible that fits their budget and risk tolerance.
Copays and Coinsurance
Copays are fixed amounts paid by the policyholder for certain healthcare services, such as doctor’s visits or prescription drugs. Coinsurance is a percentage of the cost of covered services that the policyholder must pay. Lower copays and coinsurance typically result in higher premiums.
Strategies for Reducing Costs
- Wellness Programs: Aetna offers wellness programs that encourage employees to adopt healthy habits. These programs can help reduce healthcare costs by preventing or managing chronic conditions.
- Employee Contributions: Small businesses can ask employees to contribute a portion of the health insurance premium. This can help reduce the employer’s costs while still providing employees with affordable coverage.
