Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Massachusetts business owners about healthcare and ancillary benefits.
In Massachusetts, employers with 11 or more full-time equivalent (FTE) employees are required to offer 'fair and reasonable' health insurance coverage or pay an annual per-employee assessment. However, even businesses with as few as 1 employee can access group health plans through the MA Health Connector SHOP marketplace. Businesses with 1–50 employees are considered 'small group' and have access to the most competitive rates.
