MEWA: A Win for Small Businesses

In the ever-changing industry of healthcare and employee benefits, it’s understandable if small business owners feel like affordable options are out of reach. Enter the Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangement (MEWA), a solution that’s rapidly gaining traction and offering small businesses a unique way to provide competitive health benefits.

As Planstin prepares to launch its own MEWA product, let’s take a look at this model and how it can open new doors for small and niche businesses.

What is a MEWA?

A MEWA is a pooled health or benefit plan that allows multiple employers to c their resources and offer health and other benefits to their employees. For smaller businesses, this collaborative approach provides economies of scale, often an advantage enjoyed only by larger corporations. By joining forces, businesses can negotiate better terms, reduce administrative burdens, and offer a wider range of benefits.

Why MEWAs are a win for small businesses

1.      Cost efficiency. One of the primary attractions of MEWAs is the potential for cost savings. By pooling resources, small businesses can obtain better pricing and reduce premiums.

2.      Flexibility. MEWAs offer next-level customization that’s hard to match. Whether you’re a tech startup or a niche manufacturing unit, you can tailor  benefits to suit your employees’ specific needs.

3.      Administrative Ease. Managing benefits can be complex and expensive. MEWAs often come with streamlined administrative processes, taking the burden off you and your business.

4.      Risk Management. By spreading risk across multiple employers, MEWAs can offer stability in pricing and reduce the impact of high claims on any single employer.
