All of these plans offer benefits such as Wellvolution, Teladoc Mental Health, Nurse Help 24/7, LifeReferrals 24/7, and the Blue Card program for when members are outside of California.

Login To PrismAre there participation requirements for voluntary benefits plans?
Yes. Voluntary benefits (those for which the employee pays 100% of the premium) can be a great way for employers to begin offering benefits if they currently do not. And for those that have a robust offering, “voluntary” can round out that offering by giving employees access to coverages not available on an individual basis. Keep in mind though that there are participation requirements for voluntary plans just as there are for employer-sponsored plans.
The following are examples showing how participation requirements differ between voluntary and employer-sponsored Dental and Life plans from carriers in the small group market:
Delta Dental
Principal
Humana
MetLife
Principal
Reliance Standard
As you can see, the participation requirements for voluntary plans are quite reasonable, making them a good solution for employers looking to offer coverage for the first time or to expand on what they currently offer.
