Benefits Membership

Georgia Chamber SMART Plan

Today’s small businesses are searching for cost-saving health coverage options and the Eatonton-Putnam Chamber of Commerce is helping to address this need by offering a solution that can lead to more affordable rates and offer potential savings for members.

The Eatonton-Putnam Chamber has teamed up with the Georgia Chamber of Commerce and Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield to administer the Georgia Chamber SMART Plan. This plan allows smaller employers to join together to share in the overall claims risk. By being a part of a larger, self-funded pool, employers have financial protection backed by Anthem. In addition to financial protection, this innovative alternative offers competitive rates, predictable-fixed monthly payments, flexibility to choose benefit plans and Anthem’s broad Open Access POS network and Essential RX.

In addition to all of this, the SMART Plan also offers specialty products including dental, vision, life, optional life and disability plans that are offered at discounted rates to employers taking advantage of the Georgia SMART Plan.

Who is eligible for the Georgia SMART Plan?

The Georgia Chamber SMART Plan is available to small business employers with at least two employees enrolled on their medical plan and no more than 50 total employees. Eligible employers must also be Chamber members in good standing.
