Entitled the One Valley Healthcare Program, this innovative new program couples two preventative care options with a medical cost sharing membership for sharing expenses related to unexpected medical needs. The program is made available to VVP members through the Partnership participating in the Small Association Leadership Alliance Healthcare Program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur team has been hard at work for over a year exploring various association healthcare programs. Three key criteria had to be met; 1) the program must be available and accessible in Colorado, 2) it must work for most of our members, and 3) have rates that provide meaningful reduction to the cost of healthcare burdening our community,\u201d remarked Partnership President &amp; CEO Chris Romer.<\/p>\n<p>With savings of up to 60% over group insurance plans, the innovative One Valley Healthcare Program makes a significant impact on the bottom line of member businesses and individuals in Eagle County.<\/p>\n<p>Key components of the program include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Preventative care with 100% coverage for all mandated services<\/li>\n<li>Addresses unforeseen medical costs, such as illnesses and injuries<\/li>\n<li>Primary care and access to medical specialists<\/li>\n<li>Prescription drug plan<\/li>\n<li>Telemedicine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The One Valley Healthcare Program simplifies what has become so complex and provides a high-quality, affordable healthcare solution for employers, employees and sole-proprietors. While not health insurance, the program offers preventative care options with s a four (4) Year \u201cRate Lock\u201d ensuring rate stability in an increasingly unstable market, and can lower monthly costs by as much as 60% when compared to group health insurance.<\/p>\n<p>This program is great solution for Eagle County select businesses and sole-proprietors because it is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Available in all 50 states;<\/li>\n<li>Does not need an employer-sponsor, so individual employees can join;<\/li>\n<li>Available to full-time, part-time and seasonal workers;<\/li>\n<li>Available for hourly and salaried staff;<\/li>\n<li>The monthly costs can be paid by the employee or employer;<\/li>\n<li>Provides a terrific employee benefit at no cost to the company;<\/li>\n<li>Has the potential for saving up to 60% on their monthly costs;<\/li>\n<li>Available in time for the fall 2018 open enrollment period.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Vail Valley Partnership sees this program as an additional offering in a growing number of benefit and cost savings programs available to our members and as an options multiplier for businesses and individuals looking for healthcare solutions. \u00a0Partnership president Chris Romer stated \u201cWe will continue to work with other association leaders in advocating for viable, nationally-available, Association Health Plans (AHP\u2019s), Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangements (MEWA\u2019s) and other programs that can benefit our members and add to this offering when such programs become available.\u201d Romer added, \u201cto be clear, the Program is not insurance. That means the State\u2019s consumer protections or oversight of the operation of the plan do not apply. The amounts to be paid to the plan are not\u00a0Insurance premiums and therefore are not regulated. The promise of future benefits is not guaranteed and thus the State of Colorado\u2019s Guarantee Fund does not apply.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Information about the Partnership\u2019s One Valley Healthcare Program can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.OneValleyHealthcareProgram.com\">www.OneValleyHealthcareProgram.com<\/a> and membership information can be found on the Partnerships web site at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.VailValleyPartnership.com\">www.VailValleyPartnership.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In response to challenges of the exploding cost of healthcare coverage in the Eagle County, Vail Valley Partnership partners with&#8230;<br \/><a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vailvalleypartnership.com\/2018\/11\/vail-valley-partnership-announces-industry-first-healthcare-program-for-members\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[1361,1362],"class_list":["post-24559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-partnership-press-releases","tag-one-valley-healthcare-program","tag-vail-valley-healthcare"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
