Announcing the New AHCA/NCAL Insurance Solutions Program
AHCA/NCAL has developed a new comprehensive insurance program available exclusively to our members. Our program is designed with exclusive AHCA/NCAL member savings and discounts for both the fully insured or self-insured member. The program offers health insurance options, voluntary benefit packages, and an aggressive Stop-Loss insurance program.
While Aetna is the primary health insurance carrier within the program, the AHCA/NCAL Insurance Solutions Program through our broker, Compass Total Benefit Solutions, is able to work with your existing carrier or any national carrier to secure you the best available insurance package for your company. To date, savings and discounts are available with Aetna, Aflac, Humana, Sun Life, Transamerica, and Voya and more carriers are coming on board all the time!
If you are interested in learning more about the savings and discounts available to you please contact Dave Kyllo at dkyllo@ahca.org or Nick Cianci, COO and Director of the AHCA/NCAL Insurance Marketplace for Compass Total Benefit Solutions at nick@compasstbs.com for more information.
