The Iola Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism is researching two options for health insurance to be offered to its member businesses and their employees. The 1st option is a custom-made plan.* The 2nd option is a Kansas Blue Cross Blue Shield plan. Which option would you be most interested in utilizing for yourself and your employees?
*This custom-made plan will be specifically designed for the Iola Area community and its health insurance needs by members of an insurance board. (The insurance board will consist of local community members.) This custom-made plan will include full comprehensive health insurance coverage and pharmacy benefits following government guidelines. It will strive to keep health business local, keep the plan’s cost affordable with minimal premium increases, and give people access to the best networks for the geographic area. This plan will be administered by a Third Party Administrator who will receive, process, and pay claims, maintain HIPAA compliance and receive a flat rate for their services. This plan also has the potential to be an income generator for the Chamber.
