Open enrollment for American Pharmacies’ Mutual Employer Welfare Arrangement (MEWA) plan –― our group health insurance plan –― is coming soon. The deadline for your pharmacy to elect to participate in 2024 coverage is Sept. 22, 2023.
For 2024, we will offer seven PPO health plan options (including HSA-eligible plans), as well as one HSA-eligible HMO in Texas only. We also will offer the following voluntary benefits:
Dental ● Critical Illness ● Vision ● Accident ● Life and AD&D
Hospital indemnity ● Short-term disability ● Legal
By joining the larger APRx group plan, your pharmacy and employees could see a significant reduction from your current insurance premiums. Check the updated 2024 coverage and monthly premiums for our seven health plan offerings to see what your savings could be.
Simplified Enrollment with GoCo
We have partnered with GoCo, an online employee management system, to provide an easy-to-use portal to ease the burdens of enrollment and daily plan administration. You can read about our partnership with GoCo here: https://www.goco.io/blog/american-pharmacies-customer-story.
Eligibility
The health plan is open to all active members of American Pharmacies. Your pharmacy must:
- Offer benefits to all full-time (30+ hours/week) employees;

Contribute at least $450 monthly toward each enrolled employee’s medical coverage (please verify that your employer contribution meets the Affordable Care Act’s affordability requirements for applicable large employers for 2024); and
- Enroll at least 75% of your full-time employees who do not have coverage elsewhere (e.g., Medicare, spouse, parent).
These requirements are in place to protect you and all other MEWA participants from adverse selection.
