Affordable Health Coverage Arrives
Affordable Healthcare has come to the painting industry. Gone are the days when you need full employee participation, or a full census just to get a quote. Even if you were part of the lucky few who could offer health coverage to your people, the plans were usually high-deductible, which shifted most of the responsibility to the employee. To make matters worse is that these plans were still cost prohibitive to the business.
The Health Benefit Alliance (HBA), is designed to provide truly affordable, ACA-compliant, health insurance. It is built on copay plans, not high deductibles. There are customizable options with rates significantly lower compared to traditional health plans for PCA member companies with 2 to 20K employees.
