A comprehensive health insurance plan ensures healthcare needs such as hospital visits, medication, emergency surgeries, etc. are paid for by a health care provider at little to no cost to the person in need of the hospital services.

Nigerian companies are now including healthcare packages to entice new talent and retain their employees. As a HR professional, here are 3 things to keep in mind when selecting a health care package for your company:

Compare the services offered by each health care provider

There are hundreds of health care providers and it can get overwhelming to choose the best one for your company and its employees. Some factors you need to consider are:

- The cost of each plan
- The services offered by each health provider
- The extent of the cost covered by the provider
- The hospitals registered under the service providers
- Time-dependent benefits offered by each provider

A great way to compare each offering is by using platforms like www.rohealth.ng

RoHealth is a healthcare platform that provides companies with a list of top healthcare providers. The platform is ideal for companies who want to get the most out of their annual Benefits budget while ensuring each staff is happy.

The platform is free to use and you can pay for HMO plans monthly.

Ensure your company’s employees understand their health package

A survey carried out by HSA bank showed that most human resources officials were certain that employees did not understand their healthcare package and how it benefits them.

This means it's important to explain to your employees their health care benefits and how they can access it. Luckily, Rohealth offers your employees the chance to choose a health plan that suits their needs. All you need is to invite your employees to rohealth after you sign up your company and add a budget. Once you assign a budget amount to each employee, they can select their most preferred plan from over 400 HMO plans on the platform at the budget you set.

Update your company's health care plan frequently

Most HMO’s update their offerings frequently. This means it's best to ensure your company always enjoying the latest and best features. This is something you no longer have to do a lot of paperwork for, all the updated plans are instantly available on rohealth and your employees can keep enjoying additional benefits.

Ensuring your company has access to the best health care plans is important as a HR professional. You should always consider the cost, benefits and employees needs when choosing a plan.
