Employee Benefits for Your 1099 Workforce

Jun 9, 2026 | Employee Benefits, News

Health Benefits for the Independent Workforce

For years, one of the biggest challenges facing companies that rely on independent contractors has been the inability to offer traditional group health insurance benefits. Most group health plans were designed exclusively for W-2 employees, leaving many 1099 workers without access to employer-sponsored coverage.

That’s changing.

We are excited to announce we now offer a health insurance solution that allows qualifying small to mid-sized businesses with 1099 contractors to offer health benefits through UnitedHealthcare and Nationwide.

Why This Matters

Today’s workforce is evolving. Many industries—including transportation, construction, real estate, consulting, sales, healthcare staffing, and professional services—depend heavily on independent contractors. Providing access to health benefits can help your business:

  • Improve contractor retention
  • Gain a competitive advantage when recruiting
  • Increase contractor satisfaction and loyalty
  • Demonstrate a commitment to worker well-being
  • Strengthen your company’s overall benefits strategy

Designed for the Modern Workforce

For businesses that have built successful operations around independent contractors, this development represents a significant opportunity to offer benefits that were previously difficult—or impossible—to provide.

Whether your organization consists primarily of 1099 contractors or operates with a blended workforce, there may now be solutions available that align with your business model and long-term growth objectives.

Explore What’s Possible

Our team can review your business structure, workforce composition, and coverage goals to determine whether your company qualifies for these new health benefit solutions.

Contact us today for a complimentary consultation and learn how your business may be able to provide valuable health benefits to your 1099 workforce.
