At a time when the economy is presenting serious challenges to us all, many companies are disappearing. Those companies that are managing to weather the storm are raising their rates and cutting back on the services offered to their clients.
That is not the case with Phoenix-based Insurers Administrative Corporation (IAC). In fact, IAC has just announced they are offering to lock in small group rates.
Until January 2010, IAC Group Health Plans – with a 7/1/2008 through 12/15/2008 effective date - that would normally receive only a 12-month rate guarantee can lock in their rates until 2010 with no extra surcharge*.
The best part of recommending IAC’s small group plan to your clients? Access to Arizona Foundation for Medical Care’s (AFMC) PPO Network!
AFMC’s PPO Network includes all providers, hospitals, and ancillary services that are contracted with AFMC. Whether you’re working with a small or larger employer group, the PPO network is a perfect fit for businesses that have employees throughout Arizona and desire the broadest coverage without restrictions.
And to help your clients control their ever-rising healthcare costs, AFMC has negotiated robust discounts, which are then passed down to your clients every time they utilize an AFMC contracted provider in the PPO network. Not only will your employer groups experience substantial savings on their medical expenses, they will also have peace of mind knowing the providers and hospitals they want are available to them whenever, and wherever, they need them.
