Health Insurance Options

If you don’t have insurance through your employer, here are some options for you.


Summit Choice HEALTHCARE Program

In collaboration with the Small Association Leadership Alliance (SALA), the Summit Chamber introduces the Summit Choice Healthcare Program, an exclusive benefit for Chamber members. This program, designed as a cost-effective alternative to conventional insurance plans, empowers businesses that may be unable to provide group health insurance to offer their employees access to affordable and high-quality healthcare. While not intended to replace traditional group insurance, the Summit Choice Healthcare Program serves as an accessible option for those without insurance or with prohibitively expensive individual plans.

This initiative, in partnership with SALA, addresses the challenges of high healthcare costs in the mountain region.
