The Service Member Health BridgeVeteran-Owned Business
Group Coverage

Group benefits for the business you built after the uniform.

Group health, dental, and vision for veteran-owned businesses (1–50 employees). ICHRA, traditional group, and SDVOSB-friendly carrier matching.

Three structures

How small veteran-owned businesses typically buy benefits.

01

Traditional small group

Carrier-issued group plan, employees enroll through the company, employer contributes a set percentage. Best when 5+ employees take the plan.

02

ICHRA (reimbursement)

Employer reimburses employees tax-free for individual ACA plans they choose themselves. Lower admin overhead, more employee choice, scales with team growth.

03

Hybrid + ancillary

Pair a stipend or ICHRA with employer-paid dental, vision, and life. Common for veteran-owned consulting and trade shops with 2–10 employees.

Editorial note

For SDVOSB and veteran-owned firms.

Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) certification does not directly affect carrier eligibility, but it often opens the door to government contract work — which in turn drives the kind of stable revenue that makes group benefits financially feasible. Our advisor brief covers how to time benefits buildout against a growing federal contract pipeline, and which carriers underwrite small veteran-owned firms most favorably.
