Frequently Asked Questions

What is meant by group insurance?

Group insurance is coverage purchased by an employer, association, or other organization for eligible members rather than by each person separately. In an employer setting, the organization selects a plan and may contribute toward premiums, while employees enroll if they meet the plan’s eligibility rules. Group coverage may include health, dental, vision, life, disability, or retirement-related benefits.
