The mote you've used your program, the greater the increase. Thar's a particularly frustrating scene if you've had one year of unusually high daims in an otherwise levd history of plan usage. That one year can lead to an immediate increase in your benefit plan costs. How do you keep rising premiums from getting out of hand? One practical option is to move to a 'pooled' plan. In such a plan, premiums are based on the average of daims across all partidpants. When your claims are bundled with a group of similar firms in a pool, the result can be more stable prices from year to year. No one firm is ever singled out for an increase, taking the anxiety out of annual renewals. Your Chambers Plan is pooled and has a history of renewals that don't send shock waves through the plan. That means you and your employees can count on your group benefits when you really need them. Is your current plan pooled? If it isn't, are you prepared for your next renewal? Small group pooling is a sign of a quality product. Take advantage of your Chamber membership for access to that kind of value, through die Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Han®.
