It has been a priority for AWB to find a way to offer HealthChoice in Clark County , since employers in the rest of the state have found that the AWB HealthChoice Trust offers economies of scale for small companies . It also provides access to health care and competitive offerings on ancillary benefits such as dental and vision coverage that businesses may not be able to get on their own . Plus , HealthChoice offers streamlined administration and customer service support .
Plans comply with all state and federal benefits and some plans offered are even more robust .
For example , many plans offer 100 % coverage of in-network labs , X-ray and diagnostics . One of those providers in Clark County is the Vancouver Clinic . “ As an in-network provider to the HealthChoice plans in Clark County , we ’ re looking forward to providing high-quality health care to AWB members and their employees and families ,” said Mark Mantei , CEO of Vancouver Clinic .
A new partnership with LifeWise Health Plan of Washington enables employers statewide to have access to AWB HealthChoice .
“ Clark County continues to be one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation and has become a go-to location for companies in the manufacturing , technology and services sectors , to name a few ,” said Deb Brown , president of AWB ’ s employer services arm . “ We ’ re really excited to now serve the area and help small businesses offer a competitive employee benefit package to employees and their families .”
