THE

LIFESTYLE HEALTH

CHAMBER ASSOCIATION PROGRAM

The Southwest Indiana Chamber is pleased to introduce Lifestyle Health Plans as a unique health benefits program designed for Chamber members to address the underlying causes of the rise in healthcare costs - employee health behaviors. This program is made available through a partnership with NFP. WHAT MAKES LIFESTYLE HEALTH DIFFERENT? • Level-funded major medical plan designs • Underwritten by “A” rated carriers • Member savings averaging 5-15% in most cases • Integrated wellness incentives and cash-rewards • Up to a $500 deductible credit available to all wellness participants • Integrated concierge telemedicine, outpatient lab and diabetic supply benefits WHAT IS LEVEL FUNDED? Level-funded plans are essentially pre-packaged self-insured health plans, with low attachment stop-loss coverage. For many groups, level-funded plans reduce healthcare spend significantly versus a fully insured ACA small group plan. And because of their structure, levelfunded plans do not have the volatility in monthly cash flows, associated with self-insured plans, that can cripple a small business. HERE’S HOW A LEVEL-FUNDED PLAN WORKS: Level-funded plans are underwritten, health applications are required. For larger groups applications can be avoided if two years of claims history can be provided.

RECOGNIZES LOCAL SMALL & EMERGING BUSINESSES

he Southwest Indiana Small Business Development Center was one of many organizations highlighting and promoting National Small Business Week last month, to recognize local and regional businesses for their growth and contribution to the economy. The annual event recognizes the critical impact entrepreneurs and small business owners have throughout the U.S. According to sba.gov (the website for the U.S. Small Business Administration), more than half of Americans either own or work for a small business. In addition, small businesses create roughly two out of three new jobs in the U.S. each year. In recognition of the important role small business owners play in growing Indiana’s economy, creating jobs and enhancing their communities, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) launched the Small Business Impact Awards to honor small businesses who received business advising and assistance from Indiana Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) across the state. Along with its 10 regional awards, the Indiana SBDC unveiled four new awards at this year’s program, recognizing the contributions of clients who have had a significant economic or cultural impact in Indiana, according to the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. The awards were presented in conjunction with the SBA’s National Small Business Week from May 5-11. 2019 LOCAL EMERGING BUSINESS AWARDS The Southwest Indiana SBDC nominated a select group of companies, and then a selection was made of only a few qualified recipients who were recognized for “creating and growing a business that has significant positive impact on the local economy and our community.” The Southwest office and the Small Business Administration (SBDA) also presented Emerging Business Awards to the following businesses and their owners: Mid American Safety
