First of all, you don't have to worry about one person in the group with a health condition turning the group down. It's against the law, so as a group you can get insurance no matter if one person has been turned down before.

You will want to look into your state laws and state insurance commission, this is where many of the decisions concerning group health insurance is made. They get to decide what kind of medical conditions are covered under a group plan and what is not.

The group or the employer must decide on the type of group insurance plan such as a PPO, HMO, or POS type plan.
