Healthcare and Other Medical Benefits
The Arkansas Hospitality Association has recently added two new benefits for our members. These new benefits are offered through our partnerships with the Bravo! Association Benefit Solutions. These programs’ goals are to dramatically lower healthcare and other costs for our qualifying member businesses and organizations.
Bravo! Association Benefit Solutions
Bravo is a new major medical benefit that is available to all AHA members. This program, presented by Stephens Insurance, LLC, offers Qualchoice customized health benefit plans at excellent group rates. In addition, products like dental, vision, life, and disability are available. If you are interested you can find out more
at Bravo's Website.
Choice Rx Prescription Drug Card
Skyrocketing insurance costs mean that businesses cannot always provide healthcare benefits for all of their employees, and employees cannot always afford to pay monthly contributions for their insurance. As a result, some go without healthcare coverage. Now, AHA is bringing our members an affordable way to help your employees access the prescription drugs they need for less.
