Chamber benefits corner: Tips from Anthem
SOCA Benefit Plan: Your small business deserves predictable rates and competitive benefits that help keep your employees healthy and your costs in check. The SOCA Benefit Plan offers a self-funded solution for small businesses that lets you save on overall costs.

New: A message from Anthem: Three ways artificial intelligence can enrich your life Technology is part of our daily lives. We use a smart device several times a day — if not several times an hour. Smartwatches, fitness trackers, and smart speakers (such as an Amazon Echo), along with our smartphones, rely on artificial intelligence (AI) to process large amounts of data and make recommendations based on the results. From doctor visits to using health benefits, AI is changing the way people receive care and manage their health. Read more. Plus: A good night’s rest can help lower your stress, improve your mood, and even help you maintain a healthy weight. Learn more about improving your sleep habits.

Offer cost-effective solutions to your employees. If saving money on your health plan is important, the SOCA Benefit Plan can help. You can potentially save 20% to 25% on your monthly medical costs by joining our plan, and you can receive a credit to your medical premium equivalent when you add Anthem dental, vision, and/or life products.
