Affordable Alternative Health Plans: Introducing the Fundamental Care® Limited Day Health Plan for Small Businesses

In the ever-evolving landscape of health insurance, small businesses often find themselves at a crossroads, struggling to balance the need for comprehensive employee benefits with the financial constraints of high premiums and deductibles. The 2023 KFF Annual Health Care Affordability Report highlights these challenges, noting a significant rise in premiums and deductibles that make traditional health plans increasingly inaccessible for many small firms​ (KFF)​​ (KFF)​.

At Fundamental Care®, we understand these challenges and offer a robust solution: the Limited Day Health Plan. This plan is designed specifically for small businesses seeking an affordable yet comprehensive alternative to High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) and traditional BUCA (Blue Cross, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Aetna) offerings.

The Problem with Traditional Health Plans

According to the KFF report, the average annual premiums for employer-sponsored family health coverage rose by 7% in 2023, reaching $23,968. For single coverage, the average premium was $8,435​ (KFF)​. These rising costs are a significant burden for small businesses, which often operate on tight budgets and cannot afford such steep expenses. Moreover, high deductibles further exacerbate the financial strain on both employers and employees, making it difficult for workers to access necessary care without incurring substantial out-of-pocket costs​ (KFF)​.

Fundamental Care® Limited Day Health Plan: A Game-Changer

The Limited Day Health Plan by Fundamental Care® is specifically tailored to address these financial hurdles. Here’s how it stands out:

1. Affordability: Our plan offers significantly lower premiums compared to traditional HDHPs and BUCA offerings. This makes it an ideal choice for small businesses looking to provide essential health benefits without breaking the bank.

2. Comprehensive Coverage: Despite being more affordable, the Limited Day Health Plan does not compromise on coverage. It includes essential health benefits such as preventive care, doctor visits, and mental health services. This ensures that employees have access to the care they need to stay healthy and productive.

3. Lower Deductibles: One of the main advantages of our plan is the lower deductible, which reduces the financial barrier for employees seeking medical care. This is particularly important for small businesses where employees might be more sensitive to high out-of-pocket costs.

4. Flexible Plan Options: The Limited Day Health Plan can be customized to meet the specific needs of your business and workforce. Whether you have a young, healthy workforce or a more diverse group with varying health needs, we offer plan options that can be tailored to suit your unique requirements.
