Small Business Health Insurance Plans Comprehensive small business health insurance plans pay for doctor visits, hospital visits, and prescription drugs. Also known as indemnity plans, these plans let you use your own doctors, specialists, and hospitals. You pay an insurance premium for your plan, plus a deductible (usually $500 to $2, 000) before your insurer begins to pay your claims. Most plans cover 80% of medical costs, and you or your employee pay the remaining 20%.
