Please contact your broker or the chamber for further details as not all options are listed here.
Sole Proprietor coverage
Anthem, the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Southern Ohio Chamber Alliance (SOCA) are pleased to announce that the SOCA Benefit Plan is making room for sole proprietors. They can enroll in the plan starting July 1, 2020.

This is limited to sole proprietors. Presently this offer is not intended for non-profit organizations with one employee.
Small employer health coverage
In partnership with the Southern Ohio Chamber Alliance (SOCA) and Anthem, your chamber offers this medical benefit program to businesses with 50 or fewer employees. This health program, called a multiple employer welfare arrangement, or MEWA, enables smaller employers to join together to share in the overall claims risk. By being part of a larger, self-funded pool, employers have financial protection backed by Anthem’s stop loss coverage.
The SOCA BP is designed specifically for Chamber of Commerce members. The SOCA BP presents an innovative alternative to the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
In addition to financial protection, this innovative alternative offers:

Anthem Enhanced Choice is a medically underwritten health plan that provides coverage for 364 days, with the option to apply for additional coverage periods (364 days each).
