What's the Benefit to our Organization?
- Large Group Pricing for Small Organizations! We're able to bundle our nonprofit members together as if we were all one large employer.
- Billing and Administration is consolidated for all benefits. There’s a simplified enrollment/eligibility process to handle all new enrollments and changes including COBRA administration through Capstone Administrators.
Who's Eligible?
- Any 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that is a current member of Together SC and has at least two full-time employees may participate in the Plan.
- In two years, 34 member organizations have joined, with a total of 500+ employees.
Current Together SC Health Plan Members
- Organizations don't have to be a Together SC member to receive a proposal, but must join Together SC before enrolling in the Plan. Active membership must be maintained in order to remain eligible for the Plan.
What Are Others Saying?
- Mary Black Foundation, with a staff of eight and working in Spartanburg joined this Summer. Molly Talbot-Metz, their president shared the following:
Both our staff and the organization saw cost savings. For the first time, we can offer staff two options - a high deductible plan and a traditional plan similar to what we offered previously. We have consolidated vision, dental, and health into one plan with one plan/card that's is easier for staff and consolidated billing that's easier for us to administer. Our net annual savings is @ $5,000.
Who's Involved?
