One of the biggest benefits of joining an association is the cost savings. Associations can design their plan benefits to meet specific group needs and they have access to less expensive health plans that have a lower percentage of premiums spent on insurer profit and administrative costs. Additionally, associations can work with healthcare providers and insurance companies to negotiate costs to bring rates down.
Through our partnerships with local associations, Washington business owners have access to accessible and affordable health plans. Premera works with associations that represent a wide range of industries including finance, automotive, farming, manufacturing, technology and more.
Many associations handle plan administration tasks including billing and online payments. Some also provide additional discounts and services to both your business and your employees. Selecting an association that partners with Premera for their benefits means access to a 24-Hour Nurseline and virtual care, and access to the nation’s largest provider network.
If you’re looking for more flexibility with your health plan, joining an association might be the answer. Use our checklist for a quick guide:
