Chamber Blue
Grow Clay County is excited to announce that we are partnering with over 46 other Chambers in Kansas to bring Chamber Blue of Kansas health insurance. This Blue Cross Blue Shield large group policy should help small, medium, and even larger businesses lower their health care premiums and at the same time, offer a variety of robust plans.
By Blue Cross Blue Shield estimates, this plan has the potential to have between 3,000 to 6,000 policies. That is great “buying power” to help keep costs lower and, most importantly, keep costs more steady year to year.
​
As an association health plan, Chamber Blue of Kansas is working with Kansas Chambers to provide organizations like yours access to health insurance savings associated with large group medical coverage.

Plan Highlights
How it Works
-
Participate in the interest survey this August (must participate to be eligible for enrollment).
-
You do not have to be a current Chamber member to get rate quotes; however, you must be a member of the Grow Clay County by enrollment to take the insurance.
-
Employ two or more W-2 employees unless your business is filing taxes as an S-Corp or a C-Corp.
-
Must have 70% of eligible employees enroll in the group health plan. Figured by taking eligible FTE minus those will outside coverage times 70%.
-
The employer will pay 25% of the lowest cost plan offered.
The first year is the best year to start this plan because BCBSKS will not require health histories in year one and you are guaranteed admittance. After the initial interest survey and rate structure is created, businesses will then be rated on their health histories and may not be allowed in the plan.
