Group Plan: An employer group purchases and maintains insurance coverage for its employees. Premiums are paid by the employer and may require the employee to partially or fully pay for coverage with pre-tax income deductions. The employer may customize the plan with the insurance company with regard to benefits, employee deductibles/co-pays, covered treatment, and annual maximums. Private employer-sponsored group benefit plans are regulated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), under the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, U.S. Department of Labor.
