If your business operates in multiple states, or you have multiple businesses in a state, you may wonder if you can enroll in theSmall Business Health Options Program(SHOP). The answer is yes! If youd like to offer SHOP coverage to your employees, you have two options: - Choose a single health plan for all employees. Be sure to choose a plan with a multi-state or national provider network. Offer it to all full-time employees in each business location.
- Offer different SHOP plans in each state where your employees work. As long as your business meets all requirements to participate in the state's SHOP, you can offer coverage even if you have just one employee in a location. You'll still need to offer coverage to all of your full-time employees in each state, and you'll have to verify your eligibility for each state where you offer SHOP coverage.
