Plan tiers
Tier 1 National PPO Health Plans
You are here because health coverage is taking too much money, and you need to know whether USA OPS can put you on a better path after every premium, fee, and tax assumption is counted.
A lower monthly figure comes with a higher deductible. The calculator puts each tier next to your current path so you can see which one actually works.

HOW PEOs CHARGE
Fixed fee or a percentage of payroll.
Charge model
FIXEDFlat monthly fee per person
One rate for employees with benefits, and a lower rate for employees without.
- Easy to forecast month to month
- Does not rise just because payroll rises
- Cleaner for owners who want cost clarity
Charge model
PERCENTAGE0.5 to 6 percent of total payroll
The rate depends on your headcount, payroll frequency, and workers comp profile.
- Cost scales with total payroll
- Can feel small at first and grow quietly
- Needs a cleaner apples-to-apples comparison
The real question
Does getting inside the group beat what you pay now?
Business of one
Solo owners tend to fit at about $80,000 or more in net income and about $700 or more a month for current coverage.
The answer still depends on entity, state, current premium, and tier. The calculator owns the exact number.
Already S-corp
Access and predictability may be the motive.
The path may be near break-even. That can still be worth knowing when renewal pressure is the problem.
Team
Teams tend to fit when the business nets about $90,000 or more and renewal pressure, retention cost, or payroll load is part of the decision.
The comparison is payroll, HR, workers' comp, compliance, and renewals in one operating lane.
