A1: If the company purchases health care insurance, the value of the plan is the company’s actual cost for individual coverage (employee single). (If the applicant feels that the value of their plan is greater than the cost, a valuation may be performed. However, based on historical reviews, it is rare that the value would differ materially from the actual cost.)
A2: For a self-insured company, LED will determine the value through comparison with the cost of plans providing similar benefits (consulting with an insurance industry expert as needed).
