Low-cost Health Insurance for Small Businesses
and Other Small Employers in Brooklyn

The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Group Health Inc. (GHI), an EmblemHealth company, and the New York State Department of Financial Services, is pleased to offer Brooklyn HealthWorks – a low-cost health insurance plan for small businesses and other small employers located in the borough of Brooklyn.

Brooklyn HealthWorks has two high deductible plan options – one with prescription drugs and the other without prescription drugs.  Both plans have monthly premiums well below comparable options available in Brooklyn (even when you factor in the moderate annual deductible).  In addition, Brooklyn HealthWorks does not require patients to see gatekeeper physicians, which means referrals are not needed to see specialists within GHI’s extensive tri-state provider network.  Finally, there are many business-friendly features that are not available from other plans available in Brooklyn.  Click here to learn why you should consider Brooklyn HealthWorks.

HEALTH INSURANCE TAX SAVINGS: Learn about the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit that your business may benefit from immediately as a result of recently passed federal health care legislation. Then use this Small Business Health Insurance Tax Calculator to estimate your tax savings.

Whether you qualify for the new tax credit or not, all small employers and their employees are eligible for significant payroll, income, and corporate tax savings on health insurance premium contributions.  Speak to your tax preparer or click here to find help setting up tax-preferred premium contributions.
