April 21, 2021

Got questions about your benefits, options or eligibility for HealthChoice of Michigan’s Small Business Plan?

We’ve got answers -- and affordable, easy coverage for your team, your family and you! Here’s what our members and potential members often want to know more about:

Q: How does the program work?

  1. A small business enrolling in the program will be covered by Community Care Associates and their network of providers. Small businesses can also choose to add a comprehensive vision and/or a dental plan as a rider to their HealthChoice Medical Plan (at an additional cost).

Q. Is my business eligible for your flat-rate plan?

  1. Businesses in Wayne or Oakland County that have at least 2 full-time employees are eligible to apply for coverage with HealthChoice anytime. 

Q. Can my spouse and/or children be on the program?

  1. Yes -- and that goes for your employees, too!

Q. Can I go wherever I want for care?

  1. Similar to an HMO plan, you must pick an in-network primary care doctor (PCP) who will oversee all of your health care needs and all of your care goes through that doctor. If you need to see a specialist, your PCP will write a referral.

Q. How many people have to be on my Small Business Plan to qualify?

  1. You need at least two individuals in your business to be enrolled in the plan. This can include yourself and any employee that works 30 hours a week or more.

Q. Is the HealthChoice Plan affordable?

  1. Yes! The premiums do not rate with age and are easy to budget for at $240 per month per employee. There are no deductibles or coinsurance, with little or no out-of-pocket expenses for members.
