Health Insurance Survey launched by County Chamber
In order to find out subscriber preferences when selecting an insurance plan, the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce Insurance Committee has launched a health insurance survey. The survey is directed towards those businesses that are currently enrolled in the Chamber’s insurance program and towards those that are eligible to enroll.
The survey was launched on July 17th and is accessible through August 15th. It aims to analyze subscriber preferences in relation to coverage options, co pay amounts, provider preferences, plan design and open enrollment. Chamber members currently enrolled and those with fifty or lesser employees who are eligible to enroll are free to participate in the survey. Erin Andersen, insurance coordinator for the Chamber said that the survey will be helpful in gaining input directly from those people for whom the insurance program is intended. The feedback received will go a long way in coming up with an insurance plan that meets the needs of both employers and employees.
The survey is being carried out electronically and a link to the same has been emailed to Chamber members. Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the Chamber is not allowed to contact subscribers directly. Andersen expressed regret at being unable to directly interact with the subscribers due to HIPPA.
As of today there are 2,300 employees and 615 member businesses that enjoy benefits of the Chamber’s health insurance program.
