Aetna Offers Individual Health Insurance Options to Chamber Members
|  | |
As part of an agreement made last April, Chamber members have access to a wide variety of individual health insurance plans from Aetna, one of the nation's leading health insurers.
Through a program called "Chamber One," individuals will be able to select from a wide variety of plan options, including PPO-style plans; high-deductible health plans compatible with health savings accounts; preventive and hospital plans that combine coverage for preventive care with catastrophic coverage for services like inpatient hospital care and outpatient surgery; and an optional dental PPO plan. Each Aetna plan is also available on a child-only basis, so that parents can obtain health coverage for their children, even if no other family members enroll in the plan.
The agreement between Aetna and the Chamber Insurance Trust is a major effort to provide an affordable coverage option to Chamber members, their families and their employees.
For more information, call the Chamber Insurance Trust office at 1-800-953-4467 to receive a free quote.
