Exceeds ACA benefits provisions—this is the standard Taylor Benefits Insurance Agency sets for Houston businesses seeking comprehensive employee benefits solutions. With over three decades of experience, Taylor Benefits has become a trusted partner for companies aiming to offer competitive health insurance and benefits packages that not only meet but surpass the requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Tailored Solutions for Houston’s Diverse Business Landscape
Houston’s dynamic economy, characterized by a mix of large corporations and small enterprises, necessitates flexible and customized employee benefits strategies. Taylor Benefits excels in crafting group health insurance plans that cater to the unique needs of each business, ensuring both compliance and employee satisfaction.
Large Group Health Insurance Plans
For businesses with 50 or more employees, the ACA mandates the provision of health insurance that covers essential benefits and adheres to affordability standards. Taylor Benefits assists these companies in designing plans that not only comply with federal regulations but also offer diverse options to employees. Whether it’s a plan with lower premiums and higher out-of-pocket costs or one with higher premiums and lower deductibles, employees have the flexibility to choose what best suits their needs.
Small Business Health Insurance Programs
Small businesses in Houston, while not obligated under the ACA to provide health insurance, can greatly benefit from offering such plans. Taylor Benefits guides these businesses through the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP), helping them access resources and potential tax credits. By meeting criteria such as employing fewer than 25 employees and contributing at least 50% toward premium costs, small businesses can provide valuable health benefits to their staff.
Comprehensive Employee Benefit Packages
Beyond health insurance, Taylor Benefits offers a wide array of employee benefits to help businesses attract and retain top talent. These include:
- Dental and vision insurance
- Short- and long-term disability insurance
- Life insurance
- Retirement plans, including 401(k)
- Flexible spending accounts (FSAs)
- Section 125 cafeteria plans
- Paid time off for illness, vacation, and holidays
- Flexible working schedules and remote work options
- Childcare assistance and tuition reimbursement
These benefits are designed to address the diverse needs of employees, promoting a healthy work-life balance and fostering a supportive work environment.
The Advantage of Partnering with an Independent Broker

This allows them to negotiate competitive rates and tailor plans that align with a company’s specific needs and budget.

Taylor Benefits doesn’t stop at plan implementation. They provide ongoing support to ensure that businesses remain compliant with changing regulations and that their benefits packages continue to meet the evolving needs of their workforce. This proactive approach helps businesses stay ahead in a competitive market.
