What Your Company Gains From the GEO Group Plan

One of the questions any company or organization asks when considering a group insurance plan is, "What's in it for us?". With GEO International Group Medical Insurance there's plenty in it for you. The GEO Group plan from International Medical Group has many benefits for you and your international employees as well.

The GEO plan allows your company/organization to separate the costs of your international employees from your U.S. employee insurance. This separation allows you to save a considerable amount on the premiums for your international employees because international premiums are substantially less than U.S. domestic insurance premiums. This separation also makes it much easier to track the costs of your international group medical insurance separate from your domestic insurance.

Coverage for expatriate, third-country national and local-country national employees all on one benefit plan. A good U.S. style health plan helps you attract the very best employees in whatever country you're operating in and at the same time your U.S. employees overseas will still have the same great benefits they had in the U.S.

Another positive benefit to your company is that your employees will be much happier knowing that they have U.S. style health insurance in the country they have re-located to. Also these same U.S. style medical benefits are a huge plus in many of the countries around the world, it will help to attract the best employees in the country your international offices are located in.

You will have U.S. based administration which is much easier and very probably more efficient for your company. You won't have to learn how employee medical insurance companies do business in the other countries.

If you must move your international employees to another location in a different country your GEO Group plan goes with them because it's worldwide. This cuts out the problem of looking for an employee health insurance plan in every country your international employees may be located in.

GEO International Group Medical Insurance is available for groups as small as 2 and groups as large as you may have. Even if you have no U.S. employees at your location overseas you can still provide your employees there with the GEO Group plan.

Consider this scenario: Your company opens a new office in Argentina and you're sending one of your U.S. employees there to open the office and hire some management. You will have possibly 2 Argentinean sales managers and 4 salespeople on each sales team. You simply get the GEO Group plan to cover them all. Even if a couple of the salespeople are from another South American country and working in Argentina you can put them on the GEO Group plan. Then you see that your Argentina location is doing very good so you decide it's time to open an office in Santiago, Chile. You hire the people you need in Chile and add them to the same GEO Group plan. No need to worry about the employee benefits, GEO Group is worldwide.

So to sum up the benefits to your company or organization:
1) Easier tracking of health insurance premium costs due to separation of domestic and international insurance plans
2) Substantial savings for GEO International Group Medica Insurance when compared to domestic premiums
3) Happier employees due to U.S. style employee health insurance benefits
