Thank You for your interest! The FAQs Follow
✓ To Increase Your Income”: Most Associations have two forms of income. Annuity Income from Membership Fees. Transactional Income, a one-time payment, for selling a product or service.
Annuity Income is much better than Transactional Income. That’s why we are proposing a new Annuity Income program for Your Association!
✓ To Provide All Your Members with an Affordable Healthcare Plan: Associations are usually created to source and provide to its Members various business programs and services. To attract new and retain current Association Members means your Association needs to continue to provide programs and services that benefit your Members.
One of the most sought-after employee benefit is affordable healthcare.
That’s why we are proposing a new, affordable Healthcare Plan for Your Members!
The Need: All employers and staff members are facing the same problem. Group Health Insurance is not affordable. Just look at the monthly premium cost. Even with an employer subsidy, the cost is too high. Employee take rates are less than 30% for many companies. And that’s not the biggest problem!
Look at the employee’s Out-of-Pocket costs. In 2022 the average Group plan’s Out-of-Pocket cost is $8,000 or more. Just ask yourself this question, “How many of your employees can afford to pay $8,000 when they need to receive medical services?”
The answer is usually “None”. There needs to be another answer. We have the answer.
The Solution: WHC Healthcare Plans start as low as $62 biweekly. Out-of-Pocket costs (no deductible or Co-insurance) can be as low as $1,000. To see more, look at FAQs about WHC Healthcare Plans.
Association Income: Oh yes, there is income for your Association. WHC has a liberal, “annuity-style”, month after month, compensation plan.
To see how much your Association can earn, contact us for a proposal.
Yes! WHC has a liberal, “annuity-style” Financial Reimbursement plan. Your Financial Reimbursement continues month after month as long as the WHC Healthcare Plan is offered and purchased by your Association’s Members.
WHC will also pay you a Financial Reimbursement when you recommend WHC to any person or company. Think about your suppliers and all persons you come in contact with your business. All need an affordable healthcare plan. You can help them and WHC will compensate you.
Request a Proposal and we’ll describe your Financial Reimbursement program plus show your projected compensation.
You Subsidy Plan Compensation has Two Options:
✓ Option 1 – Transactional Subsidy: Simply introduce WHC to your Members and staff. For those who have health insurance, ask them if they would like to have a “free”, no obligation review of their healthcare insurance plan.
For those who do not have insurance, ask them if they would be interested in having an affordable healthcare plan.
Collect some basic information and forward to WHC. We will follow-up with each Member with a no cost WHC Healthcare Affordability Review.
WHC will pay you a $100 Subsidy for each Member you assist to purchase a WHC Healthcare Plan.
✓ Option 2 – Annuity Subsidy: With this Option, your staff person counsels your Members, does their Quote and takes their application to purchase their WHC Healthcare Plan. If you prefer, a WHC Staff Person will be assigned to your Association to perform these functions.
WHC Annuity Subsidy Example: Let’s take a typical 30 year old who has purchased a WHC Healthcare Plan. The monthly price is about $230. The monthly Annuity Subsidy would be $23.00, $276 per year.
Next, by only adding 10 new Members per month would produce a total, initial, annual Annuity Subsidy for you of over $33,000. And this Annuity Subsidy could continue for many years.
Summary: The Annuity Subsidy has the greatest cash amount and is the longest paying. The Annuity Subsidy is much better than the one-time, Transactional Subsidy.
With either Option it will be a great Service offered by your Association to all your Members and their staff.
To Anyone! Your employees, part-timers, 1099s, volunteers and other affiliates (your “Staff). There are no restrictions.
To other people and companies. Consider the persons and companies that regularly interact with you and your Association. They all need an affordable healthcare plan.
Help them get an affordable healthcare plan and we’ll compensate you for your assistance.
Yes! Give your Staff and your Association Members the WHC healthcare option.
No! Your Staff and Association Members can “Opt-In” at any time.
There are two options depending on your desired level of involvement and compensation.
✓ Option 1: Promote WHC along with any other healthcare plan you are now offering to your Staff and Members.
Offer to do a “Healthcare Affordability Review”. The Healthcare Affordability Review includes a quote and a comparison to their current health insurance plan. Help your Staff and Members complete and send the WHC Healthcare Affordability Review form to WHC. We’ll follow-up with your Members to discuss the results of the Review.
✓ Option 2: Have a staff person perform the Review and discuss the results with your Staff and Members. We’ll train your staff person to conduct the Review. The Review process only takes about 5 minutes. Finalize the sale and send the order to WHC.
By the way, this is how car dealerships work with their clients, when selling new car. They offer to do the client’s financing and insurance.
With either Option it will be another great service offered by your Association to your Staff and Members.
