The Michigan Osteopathic Association, under the newly finalized Association Health Plan Executive Order has the opportunity to expand benefit options and remove some benefit mandates currently in place by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Highlights of an Association Health Plan for MOA members can include:
• Allowing sole proprietors to participate in the large group association plan coverage • Pooled pricing with three tier rating (single/two person/family vs. member level/age rating) • Opportunity for flexibility to design coverage to meet the membership needs of our association • Removal of some small group benefit mandates currently imposed on small employer groups
The combination of some, or all of the above items is expected to provide premium savings and rate stability.
MOA Staff is working on developing group medical, dental, vision, group life and disability coverages that will be exclusively offered to our association membership. In order to approach the carriers, we need to have some data available to share. Please take the time to answer our brief survey so the association can better serve its members. Thank you in advance for your valuable input!
