The smallest of the small businesses–those that employ between one and five people, and currently are getting health insurance through the Small Business Service Bureau–will soon be saving a little money on their employees’ health insurance.
The Boston Globe reports that the Health Connector will be taking over administration of the program from the Small Business Service Bureau, resulting in a reduction in the per-employee administrative fee from $35 per month to $10 per month (the participating insurance companies will pay the other $25 per month to the Health Connector).
$25 per employee per month isn’t a huge amount in light of the high costs that small businesses incur in providing health care; but every little bit helps, no?
