Special to the
Opelika Observer
The Opelika Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce a partnership with Iron ReHealth and the Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama to offer a health, dental and vision benefit program exclusively for chamber members.
This Alabama Chambers Benefit Program uses the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama network to help members reduce health related costs by providing a specialized program made for small and mid-sized businesses. This program emphasizes wellness, cost saving education and concierge-level service.
Businesses eligible for this program must be a member of the Opelika Chamber of Commerce and have two or more employees that work at least 30 hours a week. Independent Contractors will not be eligible for this program.
This program provides several benefits to both local chambers and their members. Chambers will benefit from a program that is attractive to new members and will help retain current members. Members will have easy access to health resources, lower health benefit costs and have 24/7 access to a doctor through Teladoc with no copay.
President of the Opelika Chamber, Pam Powers-Smith said “Health coverage has been the number one concern from our businesses for quite some time, and we’re so glad to be able to provide a solution now. We’re already hearing of great quotes coming back for the first ones that have inquired.”
For members and potential members with more questions, there will be two information sessions held on August 6. The sessions will begin at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Opelika Chamber of Commerce. These sessions are free to attend and are a chance for any and all questions about the program to be answered.
