INDEPENDENT THINKING: Association Health Insurance for You and Your Families

Wherever we’ve gone over the last few years, asking what your greatest challenges and concerns as independent retailers are, uncertainty about and the cost of health insurance and health care for yourselves and your employees always tops your lists.

In business, we all like to mitigate risk and have as much predictability as possible. The specter of the Affordable Care Act has us all wondering; what we suspect and fear is that we will all pay more for health insurance, and that regulation and administration costs will rise. But we don’t know, and answers are hard to find. It’s a difficult position for anyone running a business.

For years, many of you have asked if your association could provide group health insurance for members. Until now, solutions have not been available. Now, a plan that offers all the features and benefits of standard group health insurance is available through your association for NRHA members and NRHA Vendor Partner companies.

Investigate Your Association’s Health Insurance Benefits

Take just a little time to talk to one of your association’s health insurance specialists who can help you compare the costs and benefits of this new plan. We think you’ll find it offers several attractive benefits.

First, flexibility—this insurance plan offers you the ability to match the benefits of your current insurance plan or craft customized, multi-tiered plans for you and your employees. And, you can pick your network from many that are available.

Second, you will be able to become more proactive in helping your employees stay healthy by offering them access to more information about claims histories and built-in wellness information. This will help keep your insurance premiums as low as possible.

Third, there is an opportunity to save money. We believe you’ll find the premiums this program can offer are very attractive. In our early research, every retailer we compared saved money with NRHA Health Insurance.
