Why Your 20–50 Employee Company Is Paying Too Much for Health Insurance

Are you a small business owner with 20 to 50 employees wondering why your health insurance costs keep rising every year? In this episode of Blueprints for Better Benefits, Rodney Mattos breaks down why many small employers are paying too much for health insurance and what they can do about it. If you’ve been told your company is too small to explore better options, this conversation challenges that thinking. Rodney explains how traditional fully insured health plans often leave employers with rising premiums, limited transparency, and very little control over where their healthcare dollars go. He also introduces a smarter alternative for small business health insurance called Guided Edge, a model designed to help employers gain more visibility, improve cost control, and reduce unnecessary spending without the complexity many people associate with self-funded health plans. This episode is especially relevant for business owners, CFOs, HR leaders, and operations teams at companies with 20 to 50 employees, and even growing employers up to 250 employees, who want a better approach to employee benefits, health benefits strategy, and healthcare cost containment. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why small businesses are often overpaying for group health insurance • How fully insured plans can hide the true drivers of healthcare costs • What makes alternative funding and self-funded health insurance worth considering • How Guided Edge helps employers balance savings, visibility, and protection • Practical next steps to evaluate your current employee health benefits plan If your company is tired of runaway renewals and wants more clarity around small business health insurance, employee benefits, and cost control, this episode will give you a practical starting point.
