JA Partners to Offer Health Care Benefits to Members
Through a new portal launched by MJM Global, JA members will have access to reduced costs for health care options and a streamlined enrollment process.
New York—Jewelers of America has partnered with MJM Global to offer health care options to its retail and supplier member companies.
MJM Global serves the insurance needs of more than 3,000 businesses, professionals and households throughout the United States and abroad, and is a member of the Independent Insurance Agents of America and the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents.
Through the partnership, JA members now have access to a simplified enrollment process and affordable health care plans for as little as two individuals.
MJM Global has rolled out JewelersHealthCare.com to offer services beyond health care plans.
Through the portal, jewelry businesses will receive an average of 8 to 12 percent savings with all plans at or lower than Affordable Care Act open market rate as well as lower out-of-pocket expenses; experience a simple enrollment process for both employer and employee; be offered flexible benefits and wellness solutions; and see transparency on their true cost of health care.
“We know accessing competitive health care rates and administrating health plans for small to mid-size jewelry businesses is a major challenge. We believe MJM Global has provided the right solution that will benefit employers, employees and their families,” JA President and CEO David J. Bonaparte said.
“This new member benefit could be a game changer for Jewelers of America Members, because health care management is becoming increasingly expensive and complex to navigate, and JewelersHealthCare.com removes these obstacles.”
JA will host an information webinar on June 13 at 2 p.m. EST. Members interested in learning more about the webinar and JewelersHealthCare.com should visit the JA website.
