Group benefits

Making the most of your benefit dollars when selecting group insurance is important. After all, you have a benefits budget you need to stick to. The insurance you offer employees has to meet their needs and your bottom line. That’s where we can help. We offer quality, affordable employee benefits you can depend on.

Who pays the insurance premium? You can choose to pay for all, part, or none of the premium with most of our insurance products. If your budget is tight, employees could pick up the entire cost of premium with voluntary insurance.

What is group insurance?

Group insurance describes insurance that covers a group of people—in your case, your employees. Group insurance is part of a comprehensive employee benefits package and can include a mix of insurance products.

What group insurance product should you offer?

Consider offering a combination of insurance products to build a comprehensive benefits package, with the ease of managing it all in one place.

Group disability insurance

Whether you need short-term disability, long-term disability, or both, we’ve got you covered. Plus, our definition of disability can make a difference at claim time.

Your employees and their families all have different needs for life insurance. That’s why our flexible products are such a nice fit.

Group dental insurance

We make it easy to offer dental benefits tailored just for you and your employees. And, our large network of dentists means employees have more choice in who they see.

Group vision insurance

It’s simple to administer and is a great way to round out your benefits package. And employees appreciate being covered for services like exams, glasses, and contacts.

Group critical illness insurance

Think of this coverage as extra financial protection beyond medical and disability coverage. It provides a lump-sum cash benefit if an employee is diagnosed with a specific critical illness*.

Group accident insurance

This coverage helps supplement key benefits by providing employees with a lump-sum cash benefit after a covered accidental injury.
