You run the company. Prestige handles the paperwork.

Prestige becomes the employer on paper for payroll, taxes and benefits. That puts your team inside one large group, priced at large-group rates instead of 10 people rated by age. You keep running Pharr.

Your plan next to Prestige’s

The prescription deductible, in plain terms. On Prestige’s UnitedHealthcare plans, tier 1 prescriptions (mostly generics) cost $15 from the first fill. Tier 2 and up wait for a $100 deductible, once a year per person, then it’s $40 or $90 a fill. Brand-name tier 3 drugs cost less than today: $90 vs. $125.
