CDA/Heffernan Health Program 

We have partnered with Heffernan Insurance Brokers to provide a new Health Insurance program for your employees and independent contractors.

 

The benefit is a Minimal Essential Coverage (MEC) plan that exceeds the requirements employers & employees face under Penalty A of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). It is designed specifically for employees and independent contractors who want essential medical coverage but are unable to justify paying the high premiums for a traditional major medical plan that they use infrequently.

For example, an employee who pays just $139.75 a month would receive the following:

·         $20 Copay Primary Care Physician Visits (max 3 visits per year)

·         $50 Copay Specialist Office Visits (max 3 visits per year)

·         $50 Copay Urgent Care (max 3 visits per year)

·         $1 Copay Tier 1 – Low Cost prescription benefits

·         AND FREE Teladoc which provides multilingual telephonic and video doctor visits 24/7

Members seeking to offer this program to their employees simply need to contact [email protected] and fill out an application.

Should you have any questions, please contact Brian Ragan from Heffernan Insurance Brokers at 707-789-3010.
