Georgia Chamber Launches
Health Insurance Program
|
Georgia Chamber SMART Plan
The Georgia Chamber has launched the Georgia Chamber SMART Plan, a new comprehensive health program offered to small businesses that will provide a cost-savings on health coverage options. We have teamed up with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield to administer the plan, which allows smaller employers to join together to share in the overall claims risk. By being part of a larger, self-funded pool, employers have financial protection backed by Anthem. This plan will allow members of the Georgia Chamber or any local chamber that is a part of the Federation in good standings with 2-50 qualified employees to participate. Our hope is that this new plan will provide your members with a new benefit, increase your membership and help with retention rates.
Your Chamber must be a Georgia Chamber Federation Member to participate in the program. To learn more about the new program, click here for a pre-recorded webinar with an overview of the plan. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact Morgan Law at mlaw@gachamber.com or Lauren Meeks at lmeeks@gachamber.com.
