More Details
The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to offer another benefit to our members. We are here to help extend your value by attracting and maintaining employees by offering cost-effective, high-quality health solutions to your team.
If completed surveys indicate enough interest for this initiative to move forward, your company will be able to offer a health insurance plan to your employees and their families. With the ever-changing health landscape, buying coverage for themselves and their families has become a challenge, primarily due to changing health care legislation and affordability issues. By offering a group health insurance plan, purchasing through a pool can help overcome some of these challenges, while also providing more benefit rich plans.
Owner/operators are eligible to join an Association Health Plan provided that they have an employee in addition to themselves. This employee does not have to participate or even be eligible to participate in the group health plan, meaning they could be a part-time employee.
Census Info. Needed for Survey
When you complete the survey link above, you will need to enter the basic census information shown below.
You only need to enter the census info. on yourself & any other interested full-time employees you may have so BCBS can put together a proposal with rates and a benefit package for us.
If you only have a part-time employee in addition to yourself, you will still be eligible for the insurance, you just will not need to provide their census information on the survey.
IF you are already on a BCBS plan, but interested in this Association Health Plan as a comparison, we encourage you to go ahead and take the survey. In this case you will not need to provide employee census info., you will just provide your current BCBS group number and they can access the information needed.
The requested census fields are below. If the employee would like a rate for their spouse and/or dependents, you will need the same information on them. I have drafted a
form you may use to collect this information from your employees in case this makes it easier for you. This form is just a resource for you, you may collect the information however you would like.
First Name
Last Name
Date of Birth
Gender
Zip Code
Does the member have Medicare primary?
We would like all responses back by no later than June 11th. Responses will still be accepted after that date,
but we have set that as a stop date to gauge the interest of
members in this opportunity.
