- For small employee groups of 3 to 25, Missouri limits how much premiums can vary based on the health status of group members. Even within these limits, premiums can be significantly higher if someone in your small group has a serious health condition. In addition, premiums can vary based on age, industry, and other characteristics of those in your group.
- For groups of 2 and groups larger than 25, there are no limits on how much employers can be charged if someone in the group is sick. Also, there are no limits on how much premiums can go up at renewal.
