Free eBook: Small business guide to open enrollment 2017

New eBook Helps Small Businesses Prepare for This Year's Health Insurance Sign-Up Period

Zane Benefits, the leader in consumerized employee benefits for small businesses, announced today the publication of a new eBook, "Small Business Guide to Open Enrollment 2017." 

The guide provides small business owners (and their employees) a toolkit for understanding this year's open enrollment period for individual health insurance.

According to Kaiser Family Foundation (2016),  only about half (53 percent) of small businesses in America offer group health insurance today. As such, a large portion of the small business workforce relies on the individual market for coverage.

When looking to buy or renew their health insurance plan, employees may not know where to turn when they have questions. According to Zane Benefits, many employees are turning to their small business employers for help with questions such as, "When and how can I purchase health insurance?" "How do I select the right plan?" "Do I qualify for premium tax credits?" "Can you - my employer - help with my premium costs?"

The new guide helps small business owners and managers understand the 2017 open enrollment period and provides practical tips for using individual health insurance to offer affordable health benefits to employees.

The 16-page eBook is available for free download at the zanebenefits.com website and covers the following topics: 

• Key facts and deadlines for this year's health insurance sign-up period

• How to enroll in coverage and select the right health plan

• The cost of individual health insurance 

• How to use individual health insurance to offer affordable health benefits
