Intr oducing KeySelectTM Why consider KeySelectTM Limited Benefit Group Healthcare? Because millionsof working Americans – nearly 20% of working adults1 – are either ineligible for,or unable to afford, health insurance through their workplace.
Workers who have access to quality medical care are in better overall health,both mentally and physically, than those who do not. They have less anxiety overhealth-related concerns – for themselves and for their families – which results ina more positive attitude and increased productivity.
Insured workers are more likely to seek treatment for medical problems, ratherthan waiting until a minor medical concern has become a major medical crisis.
And prompt medical attention means faster recovery times and decreasedabsenteeism.
Providing affordable, employee-paid health insurance is a powerful tool forrecruiting and retaining top-quality employees. Healthcare coverage, or lackthereof, is often a determining factor in any employment decision.
