Whether you’re a family business, partnership, or the owner of a small company, May 21-23 you don’t have to face the challenges of entrepreneurship alone. Building a network of partners is often the best way to accomplish a shared interest, and access to com- petitive health care benefits is something we can all get behind. The Alaska Chamber Health Plan (ACHP) is an association health plan. These Denali nationally available plans allow small businesses to band together to obtain health care coverage as if they were a single large employer. On January 1, 2019 association health plans became available for chambers of commerce to offer as a member benefit. We’ve wasted no time in making this excit- ing new offering available for Alaska employers. These association plans allow the Alaska Chamber to negotiate better deals for our members when buying insurance 2019 Fall Forum — a big benefit for small business. We’ve teamed up with RISQ Consulting and Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska to create this new member benefit. Expect to learn more about ACHP over the coming months as we publish video and print materials about the plan, and October 22-24 Chamber staff presents to local chambers around the state. Open enrollment begins May 1 with policies effective July 1. Below are some important facts and tips about ACHP. Cordova • ACHP participation is available for businesses with 2 to 50 employees • Enrollment is available for Alaska Chamber members and/or members of a participating local Alaska chamber Mark your calendars and check • ACHP participants have access to medical, dental, and vision coverage • Choose from three medical plans and two dental plans our website for more information • Vision coverage is embedded in all plans • Competitive health care plans help Alaska businesses recruit and retain em- at alaskachamber.com. ployees • Lower health care costs promote a healthy business environment in Alaska Learn more about ACHP online at www.alaskachamber.com/health.
