Health Care Coverage Is The Difference
As the job market expands, employers must stand out.
Brought To You By MJM Global Insurance Brokerage Group
As the job market expands, employers must stand out. With 90% of new jobs not offering health care coverage, offering health care coverage is a way to show how your company focuses on your employees and their well being. Jewelers across the country, especially smaller jewelers, have been under-represented when it comes to health care coverage and Jewelers of America (JA) is doing something to change this commonality.
JA has partnered with JewelersHealthCare.com to bring change to the world of health care for jewelers by providing immediate saving and simple enrollment. As insurance rates are slotted to increase 15-30% in the next year, JA members can take advantage of this opportunity to offer affordable health care coverage to their employees.

As insurance rates are slotted to increase 15-30% in the next year, JA members can take advantage of this opportunity to offer affordable health care coverage to their employees.
JewelersHealthCare.com offers a simple, effective system to access health care coverage in this technology-driven time. Pairing this new technology with JA provides members the ability to create an account and access health care coverage and benefits for themselves and their employees at an 8-12% savings over conventional coverage.
With over 99,000 health care plans available, choosing the right coverage for you and your employees can be overwhelming. You can now take the guess work out of choosing the best plan for your business with selections narrowed by your location, group size, and overall health of your employees. Once coverage options are narrowed, as an employer you are able to compare plans and make the best choice for yourself and your employees.
Though JA members will find this health care marketplace user friendly, some questions may arise. If you find yourself with questions there is complete concierge level customer service available. This includes assistance via chat, email or phone to help navigate the marketplace.

As JA members enroll in health care coverage plans available through JewelersHealthCare.com, they will notice not only are their employees happier, but also healthier as they take advantage of Prosper Benefits. This non-insurance product is bundled with each health care coverage plan purchased through JewelersHealthCare.com and includes Health Advocacy, Telemedicine, Confidential Counseling and Medical Bill Saver.
Health Advocacy gives members access to experienced personal health advocates who can assist them in navigating the health care system. Telemedicine allows members 24/7 access online or by phone to a licensed medical provider with non-urgent issues. With Telemedicine you receive a diagnosis, treatment plan and prescriptions if needed.
Confidential Counseling is unlimited access to licensed professional counselors to assist with work life balance, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, substance abuse and more.
Another benefit to this program is its ability to assist in finding child care or elder care. Medical Bill Saver assists employees in saving on their out-of-pocket cost of health care services. Skilled negotiators make calls and work with providers to reduce bills sometimes saving hundreds even thousands of dollars.
