FAQs
Texas does not require any company to offer health insurance benefits, although the Affordable Care Act (ACA) does. But not all companies are under the health care mandate. If your company has 1 to 50 full-time employees, you do not have to provide them with health insurance. However, offering coverage will make you a more attractive employer to employees evaluating their options.
Sana provides plans to businesses with five or more employees.
First, identify your objectives and budget. Instead of working with a broker or third-party administrator, consider working directly with Sana to streamline the process. We provide plan administration and claims adjudication under one roof, as well as a seasoned implementation team to help you onboard. You do not need to wait until your existing plan cycle ends either. Our team will help you transition mid-year if needed.
Your costs will depend on what percentage of employee premiums you will cover, how many employees choose to participate, and if you will pay for employees only or employees and their dependents. The type of plan you provide will also influence costs (and your employees’ costs).
Sana negotiates pricing with providers based on objective, industry-accepted metrics. Shrinking provider markups reduces the cost of care, making premiums more manageable. As a small business, you can deduct the cost of employee premiums from your federal taxes. You may also qualify for a tax credit.
Absolutely. We provide employers and administrators with an easy-to-use dashboard where you can add new employees, update an employee’s contact information, change an employee’s benefits (such as when they have a Qualifying Life Event), or remove an employee from the plan with just a few clicks. We also provide free access to Mineral (formerly ThinkHR) for plan administrators. Mineral includes support for integrated HR and compliance professionals. With Mineral, administrators can get their questions answered and seek advice from a team of HR advisors. They can get a compliant employee handbook with pre-written and automatic policy updates and access an award-winning resource center.

“Thank you for everything that you’ve done for me! You made what could have been a difficult and stressful insurance process into one that is manageable. You took the time to explain everything to me and went out of your way to contact my providers. On top of that, you are one of the sweetest, kindest people I’ve had the pleasure to work with.”
“We have been loving Sana, the customer service and coverage are both wonderful. You guys have been a breath of fresh air…health care carriers have always been a thorn to work with. So, working with y’all has been professional, efficient, and personable. Appreciate all you do!”
“We definitely reduced our cost in health insurance by about 40%. It was a big savings and a no-brainer.”
