To Avoid Obamacare Costs, Employers Preparing ‘Skinny’ Insurance Plans

May 23, 2013 by Ben Bullard

In order to avoid having to pay penalties under Obamacare’s mandatory-coverage rule, many employers are readying a new, lower tier of “skinny” healthcare policies that will cover preventive care, but won’t pay for hospital stays.

Under Obamacare, employers who don’t provide employees minimum coverage can face a $2,000 per-worker penalty. But the new cut-rate policies, which won’t cover surgery, prenatal care or diagnostic work such as X-rays, qualify employers as participants in mandatory minimum coverage.

The new tier of low-benefit plans will still subject employers to government penalties, but most are expected to be less than $100 per worker.
