Want an affordable medical plan?  Pinnacle has added another medical plan option.  Pinnacle’s new plan is called the Apex MEC.  MEC stands for Minimum Essential Coverage.  This is the minimum amount of benefits that a large employer must offer to comply with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Part A.  The new Pinnacle offering has several great advantages for our clients of any size.  It has no minimum number of employees required for participation.  It has no minimum amount that the employer must pay towards the premiums.  The monthly premiums are incredibly low as compared to Major Medical Health Insurance plans.

At the lowest cost level, the Apex MEC covers all preventative services required under ACA at 100% with no deductible or copayment required.  It also covers one primary care office visit per year, has a discount card for Rx, has access to doctor discounts in a PPO network, and includes a free Teledoc service where you can have access to a doctor by phone 24/7 365 days a year.  The Apex MEC has 3 upgrade options available which add other benefits, such as hospitalization, an RX card, testing, surgery, and emergency room coverage.

Offering an affordable medical plan can help you with your recruiting and retention!  Contact Nikki Burke at (210) 344-2088 or nikkiburke@pinnaclepeo.com for more information.  Your business owner must initiate the offering of this plan so that it is available to all team members during the same month. It can be started anytime in 2019.
