Insurance health plans provide coverage to a group of members, usually comprised of company employees or members of an organization. Group health members usually receive insurance at a reduced cost because the insurer’s risk is spread across a group of policyholders. Organizations can choose from following plans:
Keep smiling with quality dental insurance coverage
Everyone wants a healthy and attractive smile. Daily brushing and flossing, a healthy diet and regular dental checkups are the best ways to maintain your teeth and prevent minor dental problems from becoming major health issues. Serious conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes, can often be identified in their early stages through regularly scheduled oral screenings. AIS Dental Insurance will keep your employees smiling with affordable, comprehensive dental insurance from some of the best dental insurance providers on the market.
For us, sight is the most important out of our five senses. To say that visual impairments can have a negative impact on a person’s ability to perform their jobs is an understatement.
Unfortunately, blindness and other types of vision impairment are a common disability in the United States. Many factors, especially age, can have an impact on a person’s vision. Regular visits to an optometrist are crucial to maintaining healthy vision. To help reduce employer and employee costs for vision care, AIS provides access to low cost, comprehensive vision insurance plans. Vision insurance plans make a great supplement to any employer healthcare benefits package as the premiums are very affordable.
AIS’ vision insurance plans offer many benefits including:
Employers and employees have the same concerns: “What will happen to his or her family if something unexpected happens to him?” Will they be able to maintain their current standard of living? Will their children be able to attend college? And what about retirement plans? A life insurance plan from AIS will give your employees the peace of mind knowing that the special people in their lives won’t have to deal with any financial burdens in the event of death.
Life insurance plans give employees the means to provide their beneficiaries with financial security after they’ve passed.
A 401(k) plan is a tax advantaged, defined-contribution retirement account offered by many employers to their employees. It is named after a section of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Workers can make contributions to their 401(k) accounts through automatic payroll withholding, and their employers can match some or all of those contributions. The investment earnings in a traditional 401(k) plan are not taxed until the employee withdraws that money, typically after retirement. In a Roth 401(k) plan, withdrawals can be tax-free.
Short Term Disability Insurance

Long-term disability Insurance
Long-term disability insurance (LTD) is an insurance policy that protects an employee from loss of income in the event that he or she is unable to work due to illness, injury, or accident for a long period of time.

ERISA – Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
The (ERISA) is a federal law that sets minimum standards for most voluntarily established retirement and health plans in private industry to provide protection for individuals in these plans. It provides a summary plan description (SPD) that explains the plan’s terms and conditions to all enrolled employees. Are you providing a consolidated and maintain a written plan document (ERISA DOCUMENT) to your employee/new hires within 90 days of plan change? If not, then you are not compliant and can be subject to penalties.

Employees make contributions to their group health, dental, and term life insurance before taxes are calculated, POP is enabling them to save FICA and federal income tax (up to 30%) on their insurance deductions with every paycheck. Employers save on FICA taxes (of 7.65%.) If POP document is not generated and employer is making a tax deduction on pre-tax basis, it tends to non-compliant and subject to penalties. This is also called Section 125/Cafeteria plan.

The Federal government has established regulations that specify requirements for each type of benefit plan governed by IRC Section 125, IRC Section 105, and IRC Section 129. In order to evidence compliance annual tests must be performed and the results documented for each benefit plan. The results are subject to audit by the IRS.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged account to help people save for medical expenses that high-deductible health plans do not cover. An HSA, owned by an employee, can be funded by the employee and the employer. The contributions are invested over time and can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses. Account balances are rolled over from year to year
A health reimbursement arrangement (HRA), is an IRS-approved, employer-funded, tax-advantaged health benefit used to reimburse employees for out-of-pocket medical expenses and personal health insurance premiums.
An HRA is not health insurance. Instead, employers offer employees a monthly allowance of tax-free money. Employees then buy the health care services they want, potentially including health insurance, and the employer reimburses them up to their allowance amount.
A flexible spending account (FSA) is a type of savings account that provides the account holder with specific tax advantages.
