Decision framework
New Castle County issues to put on the renewal table
The useful review separates group health decisions from Delaware Paid Leave responsibilities while giving both a coordinated operating calendar.
Network access across four states
Test provider access where employees actually live and receive care across Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and remote locations.
Delaware Paid Leave coordination
Use current Delaware Labor guidance to assign payroll, HR, leave, disability, vendor, and employee-communication responsibilities without treating paid leave as the health plan.
Contribution and plan design
Compare employer cost, employee contributions, plan choice, deductibles, networks, and recruiting value together.
Group coverage versus ICHRA
Evaluate individual-market availability by employee location, affordability, classes, administration, communication, and transition risk alongside viable group options.

2. Compare viable paths
Review group plans, supporting benefits, funding, provider networks, administration, and ICHRA where appropriate for the employer's size and workforce.
3. Implement with named ownership
