Health & Employee Benefits

Health InsuranceDental & Vision InsuranceEmployee BenefitsLife Insurance

Health Insurance

Health insurance is the foundation of an employee benefits package and one of the biggest drivers of retention and peace of mind. We help individuals and employers choose health plans that balance monthly premium, out-of-pocket costs, and provider access, so the coverage works when it’s actually needed.


For employers

  • Plan options that can include PPO, HMO, EPO, and HDHP designs (including HSA-compatible plans)
  • Help comparing networks, deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and employer contribution strategies
  • Support for enrollment, employee communication, renewals, and ongoing plan changes
  • Guidance on pairing health plans with add-ons like dental, vision, life, disability, and ancillary products


For individuals and families

  • Help selecting the right plan based on doctors, prescriptions, expected care, and budget
  • Guidance on understanding premiums, deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, and prescription tiers
  • Support through the application and plan selection process


How we make it easier: We shop strong carrier options, provide clear comparisons, and explain tradeoffs in plain language. Our goal is simple to help you choose the right coverage and have an agency you can rely on when questions come up.

Individual Health Insurance

Individual Health Insurance

Individual Health Insurance

If you are looking for individual health insurance, you should not have to sort through conflicting information or guess which plan actually works for your situation. You need clear, practical options and guidance you can trust. At Hereth Insurance Consulting, we help individuals, families, self-employed clients, and early retirees compare health insurance plans and choose coverage that fits their doctors, prescriptions, budget, and comfort level with out-of-pocket costs.


We take the time to explain the differences between plans and focus on what truly matters, including deductibles, copays, provider networks, prescription coverage, and out of pocket maximums. Our goal is to help you understand how a plan will perform when you need care, not just what it costs each month. By walking through these details upfront, we help you avoid common mistakes that can lead to unexpected medical bills or coverage gaps later.


We assist with a wide range of individual health insurance solutions, including individual and family health plans, coverage options for self-employed individuals and 1099 contractors, and short-term health insurance for temporary gaps in coverage when appropriate. We also help coordinate dental and vision insurance and supplemental options such as accident, critical illness, and hospital indemnity coverage to strengthen your overall protection and reduce financial stress.


Whether you are enrolling for the first time or reviewing your current coverage, we focus on helping you make a confident, informed decision that aligns with your real-life needs.

Group Health Insurance

Individual Health Insurance

Individual Health Insurance

If you are shopping for group health insurance for employees, you do not need added complexity, or one size fits all solutions. You need clear choices and a benefits plan your business can realistically manage. At Hereth Insurance Consulting, we help employers compare group medical options and build a benefits package that fits their budget, workforce, and long-term business goals, while keeping enrollment and ongoing service straightforward.


We guide you through the details that matter most, including provider networks, deductibles, employer versus employee contributions, renewal strategy, and key compliance considerations. Our focus is on helping you offer strong, sustainable coverage that supports your team and keeps your business competitive in hiring, without creating unnecessary administrative burden or surprise costs at renewal.


Beyond plan selection, we help you position and communicate your benefits package so employees understand what they have, how to use it, and why it matters. When benefits are clearly explained and easy to access, employees are more likely to value them, use them confidently, and view them as a reason to stay, which helps improve employee retention and reduce turnover.


We support employers with group medical plans, coordinated dental and vision benefits, life insurance and voluntary benefits, and supplemental coverage such as accident, critical illness, and hospital indemnity. From new hire onboarding and open enrollment to annual renewal reviews and cost control planning, we help ensure your group health insurance program works year after year for both your employees and your bottom line.

Dental & Vision Insurance

Dental and vision benefits are two of the most valued add-ons in an employee benefits package because they’re easy to use and help employees manage everyday healthcare costs. We help employers offer dental and vision plans that fit their budget, match network preferences, and are simple for employees to understand during enrollment.


Dental insurance highlights

  • Preventive care support, including routine exams and cleanings 
  • Coverage for basic services like fillings and extractions
  • Options for major services like crowns and bridges, depending on plan desig 
  • Key items we help you compare: networks, waiting periods, deductibles, annual maximums, and orthodontia benefits
     

Vision insurance highlights

  • Annual eye exams and access to provider networks
  • Allowances for frames, lenses, and contact lenses
  • Common options include lens enhancements and contact-focused designs
  • Key items we help you compare: exam copays, frame and lens allowances, frequency limits, and in-network versus out-of-network benefits
     

How we support your group: We shop multiple carriers, provide clear side-by-side plan comparisons, and help with enrollment communication so employees know what they’re selecting. We also support ongoing changes and employee questions, making dental and vision easy to implement and easy to manage.

Employee Benefits for Employers

Ancillary benefits are add-on products that help employees handle out-of-pocket costs when something unexpected happens. Plans like accident, critical illness, short-term disability, and hospital indemnity are designed to pay benefits directly to the employee, which can help cover deductibles, missed income, travel, childcare, and everyday bills during recovery.


Common ancillary plans we offer

  • Accident insurance that pays set benefits for injuries and treatment
  • Critical illness coverage that provides a lump-sum benefit after a covered diagnosis
  • Short-term disability to replace a portion of income during an off-work injury or illness
  • Hospital indemnity that pays cash benefits for hospital stays and related care
     

Why employers add these plans

  • Enhances your benefits package without major budget increases
  • Helps employees manage rising medical out-of-pocket expenses
  • Often offered as voluntary or buy-up options with simple payroll deduction
  • Improves retention and employee satisfaction with practical coverage
     

How we support your group: We help you choose the right mix of ancillary products, compare carrier options, and set up a smooth enrollment experience. We also provide employee-friendly explanations, plan summaries, and ongoing support so the coverage is understood and actually used.

Accident Plan

Critical Illness

Critical Illness

Accident insurance helps when an unexpected injury leads to medical care and the costs add up quickly. Instead of paying providers, it is designed to pay cash benefits after a covered accidental injury, so you can use the money for deductibles, copays, prescriptions, therapy, transportation, household bills, and time away from work. Many plans cover injuries on or off the job, 24 hours a day, which makes this protection especially practical for active families and working households.

Critical Illness

Critical Illness

Critical Illness

Critical illness insurance is designed to help when a serious covered diagnosis creates financial pressure on top of medical concerns. Unlike major medical insurance that pays providers, critical illness coverage typically pays a lump sum cash benefit after a covered diagnosis, giving you flexibility to use the money where it is needed most. That can include deductibles and out-of-pocket medical costs, household bills, mortgage or rent, travel for treatment, and replacing income during recovery, so you can focus on healing instead of finances.

Hospital plan

Short Term Disability

Short Term Disability

Hospital indemnity insurance helps when a sickness or injury leads to a hospital stay and the out-of-pocket costs start piling up. While major medical insurance pays doctors and hospitals, a hospital plan typically pays cash benefits for covered hospitalization, giving you flexibility to use the money for deductibles, copays, coinsurance, lost wages, travel, childcare, rent or mortgage, and everyday bills while you focus on recovery.

Short Term Disability

Short Term Disability

Short Term Disability

Disability insurance helps protect your paycheck when an illness or injury keeps you from working. While health insurance helps pay medical bills, disability coverage is designed to replace a portion of your monthly income so you can keep up with housing, utilities, groceries, and other financial obligations while you recover. For many individuals and employees, lost income is the biggest financial risk during a disability.

Life Insurance

Life insurance helps protect the people who rely on you, whether you’re buying coverage personally or offering it through your business. It’s designed to replace income, pay off debt, and provide financial stability after a loss.


Individual Life Insurance: Best for families and business owners who want coverage tailored to their needs. We help you compare term and permanent options, choose the right amount, and match the policy length to what you’re protecting, like a mortgage, income, or children’s expenses. Pricing typically depends on age, health, tobacco use, coverage amount, and term length, and we shop multiple carriers to find strong rates.


Group Life Insurance: A simple, high-value employer benefit that supports retention and employee peace of mind. Most plans offer a base benefit, often a flat amount or a multiple of salary, with optional employee buy-up coverage. We can also add related options like AD&D, spouse and child coverage, and portability or conversion features. We’ll walk you through plan design, enrollment, and ongoing support so it’s easy to implement and manage.

Individual Life Insurance

Life insurance is one of the simplest ways to protect the people who rely on you. Whether you are starting a family, buying a home, growing a business, or planning for the future, the right life insurance policy can provide financial security when it matters most. At Hereth Insurance Consulting, we help individuals and families compare life insurance options and choose coverage that fits your goals, budget, and long-term plan.


We make the process clear by helping you determine how much coverage you need and what type of policy makes the most sense based on your situation. Life insurance can help replace income, pay off a mortgage, cover final expenses, protect children’s future needs, and reduce financial stress for your loved ones. For business owners, it can also support continuity planning and protect the company if a key person passes away.


We help with a wide range of life insurance solutions, including term life insurance for affordable protection over a set period and policies designed to support estate planning or long-term family security. If you are looking for coverage through work, we can also help review employer provided options and identify gaps that a personal policy may need to fill.


Our goal is to help you get the right coverage with confidence, so you know exactly what you are buying and how it will protect your family.

Group Life Insurance

Individual Life Insurance

Individual Life Insurance

Group life insurance is a practical, high value benefit that helps employers protect their people and strengthen their overall benefits package. Offering employer sponsored life insurance shows employees, you are invested in their families and long-term security, and it can improve recruiting, morale, and retention. At Hereth Insurance Consulting, we help employers design group life insurance that fits their workforce, budget, and benefits strategy, while keeping administration simple.


We guide you through the key decisions that impact cost and employee value, including benefit amounts, eligibility rules, and employer paid versus voluntary options. Group life insurance can provide a base amount of coverage for employees, with options to purchase additional coverage through payroll deduction. Many employers also include optional benefits such as dependent life coverage, and in some cases, additional protections that complement life insurance for a more complete package.


We support employers with group term life insurance, voluntary life options, and coordination with broader benefits such as health, dental, and vision. We also help with open enrollment communication, new hire onboarding, and annual reviews to ensure the plan continues to meet your goals as your business grows.
