Health insurance exchanges for employers
Find various affordable health plans that support you and your employees.
Affordable, innovative health plans
Changes introduced by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) mean that your business has more coverage choices than ever to offer your employees.
Small businesses (those with 50 or fewer employees) now can shop on a public exchange. Public exchanges provide an online marketplace where you can compare health plans before buying. Public exchanges are run by states, the federal government or both. Online tools help you to understand your potential savings, tax credits and costs.
The public exchange option for small businesses is the Small Business Health Options Program – or SHOP. Aetna is offering SHOP plans in the District of Columbia and Maryland.
