NATA launches initiative to keep members in peak health
With premium savings over comparable traditional insurance plans, NATA's programme offers five plans with options in several categories including health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance.

The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) has partnered with Peak Benefit Administrators for the launch of the NATA Healthcare Initiative Program. This brand-new, level-funded group programme for members provides medical health benefits with an integrated wellness and lifestyle improvement programme. With premium savings over comparable traditional insurance plans, NATA's programme offers five plans with options in several categories including health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance. The programme offers the highest level of service, with a dedicated CSR team.

“We could not be more thrilled to bring this new programme to market at a time when access to quality health and wellness benefits and cost savings for employers and employees are paramount,” states NATA president and CEO Timothy Obitts. “Prior to unveiling, we tested the healthcare programme with a few NATA members of different sizes in different or multiple geographic locations, and they all experienced savings. It has been a goal to assist our membership, primarily consisting of small businesses, with this key area of coverage that was lacking in our industry. We are proud to offer a new option that provides solid coverage and professional service at a competitive price, no matter the company size.”

“Healthcare continues to change at a rapid pace, and the adoption of robust plan options that utilise modern technology is an important step to expand coverage and mitigate costs for employers,” adds Fred J. Meijering, partner at Peak Benefit Administrators. “We are happy to offer our low cost services through this partnership with NATA, which will allow us to further our mission to drive healthcare efficiency and coverage for small businesses.”
