Future State

We are all closely watching the Association Health Plan legislation that was just passed. We will be submitting our comments which will most favorably support our Plan, our Groups, our Members, and our Broker partners.  More to follow as this Bill takes shape.

Some upcoming systematic changes we want to make you aware of…

• Paperless billing is coming your way.  We have begun confirming group email addresses in preparation of this enhancement.
• Enhanced functionality from our Jet quote/enrollment system.
