Yes. For a fast-growing distributed team, the best small-business health plans are usually the ones built around broad provider access, multi-state flexibility, and strong virtual-care options.

Good options to look at:

  • PPO plans: Often the easiest fit for distributed teams because employees can see out-of-network doctors and use larger national networks.
  • HSA-qualified high-deductible plans: Often lower premium, easier to scale, and useful if you want to control costs while still offering coverage.
  • ICHRAs / QSEHRAs: If your team is spread across states, these can be very attractive because you give a tax-advantaged allowance and employees buy plans that fit their location and needs.
  • Association health plans: In some cases, these can offer broader access, but availability and quality vary a lot by state.
  • Small-group plans from national carriers: These can work well if your team is in several states and you want one carrier relationship.

If your priority is expanding coverage quickly for a distributed team, I’d especially consider:

  1. PPO with national network
  2. ICHRA
  3. HSA-compatible plan with a strong virtual-care package

What to compare:

  • Multi-state network access
  • Telehealth and mental health coverage
  • Ease of onboarding employees in different states
  • Contribution flexibility
  • Whether dependents are covered
  • Broker/admin support for distributed workforces

If you want, I can also help you compare the best plan types for your team size, states, and budget.
