OBJECTIVE: A HEALTHIER BALANCE SHEET

without sacrificing your employees’ peace of mind

Kaiser Permanente is helping Northeast Ohio employers reduce their health benefi t costs by cutting waste, not corners, and we’re doing it without limiting employees’ choice of doctors and hospitals. With benefi t plans—including PPOs—that work just like the ones you’re probably using now. And, without introducing higher out- of-pocket costs that make it diffi cult to attract and retain key employees.

Find out what hundreds of other employers in Northeast Ohio are discovering. You can maintain high benefi t levels, let your employees keep the doctors and hospitals they want, and still reduce your premiums.

A better balance sheet—and your employees get to keep the doctors they’re com- fortable with. Contact us or call your broker today to get started: 1-877-2-THRIVE.
