American Meat Institute Announces New Health Insurance Affinity Program

The American Meat Institute (AMI) today announced a new health insurance affinity program aimed at providing comprehensive, affordable health insurance for member companies and their employees.

In developing this new program, AMI partnered with Mass Marketing Insurance Consultants (MMIC), a firm with 30 years experience developing customized insurance programs for companies. MMIC has contracted nationally with a number of health insurance companies to provide a wide variety of major medical, life insurance, disability and dental coverage.

Coverage is available to all companies with two or more employees. The cost of coverage may be paid in whole by the employer or shared with the employees. However, the employer’s contribution must be at least 50 percent of the total cost. AMI has negotiated a competitive price guarantee.

“Health insurance premiums paid by employers increased an average of 9.2% in 2005, according to the 2005 Annual Employer Health Benefits Survey just released by the Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Research and Educational Trust,” said AMI President J. Patrick Boyle. “We hope that his program will help our members obtain competitive pricing and outstanding coverage for their employees.

AMI members interested in a no-obligation proposal may call MMIC at 1-800-349-1039 or write AMI Health Insurance, P.O. Box 95, Orland Park, IL, 60462, mmic@flash.net.
