2027 Health Benefits Built Around Your Workforce

Maryland’s 2027 Small-Employer Market

For 2027, Maryland’s approved small-group market includes CareFirst BlueChoice, CareFirst GHMSI/CFMI, Kaiser Permanente and several UnitedHealthcare entities: MAMSI Life and Health, Optimum Choice, UnitedHealthcare of the Mid-Atlantic and UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company. Those choices span HMO, EPO and PPO network structures.

• Carrier and plan availability varies by service area and group eligibility
• Employer contribution and employee participation requirements can affect available choices
• Provider networks and prescription coverage should be reviewed against the workforce
• There are more than 265 plans in Maryland’s 2027 small-group market, so plan design matters

Actual availability through Lion Insurance Group depends on appointment and market access, group size, service area and carrier rules.

More Than Picking a Carrier

A good employer health-benefits conversation starts with the workforce and the employer’s goals.

• Employee census and eligibility
