New Health Options for Washington State Employers

Washington State-based small businesses with two to 100 employees now have access to a host of commercial health benefit options through a partnership between UnitedHealthcare, a UnitedHealth Group company, and Affiliated Associations of America (AAOA).

AAOA offers various member benefit programs for chambers of commerce, trade associations and professional organizations that in turn share these benefits with their own members. AAOA offers a variety of programs and benefits to its members including health care coverage.

Beginning May 1, AAOA will offer a range of options from UnitedHealthcares product portfolio. AAOA members, depending on their needs, will have the ability to choose from 16 different plan designs, including PPOs and consumer-driven health plans such as health savings accounts (HSAs) and health reimbursement accounts (HRAs).

In addition, UnitedHealthcare plans include a suite of wellness programs designed to help consumers make more informed health and lifestyle choices. All UnitedHealthcare participants have access to www.myuhc.com, UnitedHealthcares interactive Web site, where consumers can find more information about their benefits, print temporary ID cards, locate a physician or health care facility, and more.
