Health benefits for 10 employees on Long Island: the real numbers

$1,350 a month covers a doctor for ten people on Long Island, and $3,250 a year covers a dentist. The equivalent group plan would cost you about $6,570 a month in employer premiums for single coverage, and your people would still face a $2,631 deductible. At ten employees your administration fee also steps down to $17.50 per person, so the numbers above are slightly high.

The math for 10 employees

Example: 10 employees
$1,350/month

10 employees × $135/mo for a Long Island doctor membership (Huntington Direct Primary Care, unlimited visits), plus $3,250 once a year for dental at $325 each. That's $19,450 for the year for a doctor and a dentist for everyone, versus roughly $78,840 a year in employer premiums alone for single coverage on a group plan.

Common questions

Does the price per person go down as I grow?

Yes. Our administration fee steps down at 10, 25, 50 and 100 employees. The practice's own rate stays what it is.

Can my employees pick different doctors?

Yes, that's the point. You set a budget; each person picks the practice that works for where they live.

Do I need a broker?

No. You set it up yourself in about eight minutes, or we do it with you on the phone.

Is there a contract?

No contract with Upsurance. Doctor memberships are month to month.
