Chamber Benefit Plan health insurance now available across Missouri

When it comes to providing employees with cost-saving health care coverage, small businesses are at a big disadvantage compared to their larger counterparts. Because of their smaller size, their claims risk pool is spread out across a much smaller employee population. That can result in higher, less stable insurance rates — and fewer viable plan choices. Fortunately, there’s a simple and affordable medical plan alternative: the Chamber Benefit Plan.
