How to Offer Health Insurance to Employees in Brevard County, Florida

Brevard County's Space Coast small businesses — from Melbourne's technology firms and Titusville's aerospace support companies to Cocoa Beach's tourism economy and Viera's professional services corridor — can set up group health insurance in four steps. Florida Blue, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare all offer small group plans in Brevard County. Health First is a unique Brevard-based carrier with strong local network access through its own hospital system.

Steps to Set Up Group Coverage in Brevard County

1. Confirm group eligibility. You need at least 2 enrolled employees (owner counts if working full-time). Brevard County has no local requirements beyond Florida's small group rules.
2. Get quotes from Brevard County carriers. Florida Blue and Health First have the strongest local networks. A broker pulls quotes across carriers for your employee ages and preferred plan tier.
3. Select your plan and set contribution rules. Decide your employer contribution percentage (50–75% is typical), whether to offer dependent coverage, and whether to offer a single plan or choice of plans.
4. Enroll and set up payroll deductions. Employees complete enrollment forms; coverage typically starts on the 1st of the month following carrier approval. Set up pre-tax payroll deductions for employee premium shares.
