Employer Coverage

Employer-provided coverage delivers high-quality, affordable access to care for nearly 14 million Texans, spanning across businesses of all sizes and industries. By providing the most efficient path to benefits for families, Texas businesses continue to be the back-bone of health coverage for the state.

Texas Employers Lead the Way in Health Coverage

Leading Source of Health Coverage

More than half of all covered Texans receive their health plan at work. High satisfaction is reported, with 80% of employees ranking their health plan as “excellent” or “good”.

Affordable, Accessible, Comprehensive Coverage

Employers rely on health benefits to attract the best workers, so they cover the bulk of monthly premiums for the most extensive and comprehensive coverage around.

Driving A Strong Economy

Employer-provided coverage creates a secure workforce—paying for itself while producing a substantial return on investment.
