No SubjectOct 19, 2009


We are a small condo with a super and 5 other full-time staff. We want to get health insurance for our super, but can't afford to cover anyone else.

It seems group coverage is out because the NYS minimum group is two people. Sole proprietor seems odd because he'd have to register with the city clerk and that would probably cause more problems.

I assume we'll have to buy an individual private policy and he will have to pay tax on the imputed income.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Maybe your building should join the 32B-J Union? At least check into it.

Alternatives... - ~AR Oct 21, 2009


Oxford has a plan called Metro and another called libery metro that I hold for some of my supers in the same position (buildings with 1 employee).
For the single plan it is 388. per month/4,676 per yearl.
copays are higher, but he still has full coverage including prescriptions... it works great for me.
I alsogive the employee the option of buying the difference of a better plan if he wishes.

Best

Insurance for Employee - Mr. Manager Oct 21, 2009


I just applied for a building with one full time employee today. Healthy NY (http://www.ins.state.ny.us/website2/hny/english/hny.htm), but I believe they have to make less than $40,000. Rates were very good if you take a look.
