Area employers benefit from Network Health and West Bend Area Chamber of Commerce Partnership

(Chamber members now have access to discounted premium rates)

MENASHA, WI – (October 3, 2019) – Network Health, the Wisconsin-based health plan, and the West Bend Area Chamber of Commerce, have partnered to provide local employers high-quality and cost-effective health plan solutions. The partnership provides chamber members with discounted premium rates on Network Health Assure level-funded or fully insured plans.

The Assure level-funded plan provides small businesses (2 – 100 employees) with the security of a fully insured plan with the financial advantages of a self-insured plan. This means employers can benefit from the predictable, fixed monthly rates of a fully insured plan but only pay for the health care the employees receive. Fully insured plans are for organizations with 50 employees or more.

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Network Health on this exciting new program.” said Craig Farrell, executive director of the West Bend Area Chamber of Commerce. “Many of our members need affordable health insurance to retain their talented staff. Being able to offer them a premium discount is the frosting on the cake.”

In addition to discounted premium rates, chamber members can now access Network Health’s insurance experts. Employers will work directly with Network Health representatives at West Bend Area Chamber of Commerce new member orientation meetings to determine the best insurance solution for their company’s specific needs.

“Network Health and the West Bend Area Chamber of Commerce are two Wisconsin-based organizations that share common values and support employers within our communities, which is why a partnership like this is beneficial in a growing region,” said Erin Kelly, vice president of sales and marketing of Network Health. “Providing affordable health insurance to employees can be a complicated process, but it doesn’t have to be. Our organizations work together to provide value, education and assistance to large and small businesses.”
