Small business health options program (SHOP) exchanges

  • Health Policy

The Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) provides health and/or dental insurance coverage for businesses in every state. They are open to businesses with fewer than 50 full-time equivalent employees (i.e. those businesses and nonprofit organizations that are not covered by the employer mandate). They are supposed to offer a variety of plan options, although choices have been limited in some states.
