## Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum business size to offer group health insurance?

In Michigan, small group health insurance is typically available for businesses with 1 to 50 full-time equivalent employees. We can help you determine your eligibility and explore options.

How do independent agencies differ from captive agents?

Captive agents sell policies from only one insurance company. As an independent agency, Lubbers & Associates compares plans from multiple carriers to find the best fit and price for you.

Can we offer dental and vision without paying for the entire premium?

Yes, you can offer voluntary ancillary benefits where employees pay all or a portion of the premium through payroll deductions, allowing you to expand your benefits package at little to no cost to your business.
