DEMA LAUNCHES HEALTH & BUSINESS INSURANCE PROGRAM FOR US MEMBERS

DEMA is excited to announce that US based companies of all sizes now have access health and business insurance choices when they join DEMA. Members located in any of the 50 US states can purchase a variety of health insurance products including a pharmacy benefits program, group employee and individual health insurance, business insurance and have access to workers compensation insurance at DEMA Member-only rates.
Competitive insurance rates are available to DEMA Members because DEMA has combined with more than 9,000,000 association participants from across the US to make it possible for even the smallest DEMA-Member company to purchase health insurance when they become part of the Association. DEMA Members in any of the 50 states can customize their own insurance benefits package by selecting a program and major carrier available in their state. Benefits available include individual and group health insurance and long-term disability options; business insurance products such as workers compensation and inventory coverage; and the pharmacy benefits program covering over 12,000 prescription drugs and available through 42,000 retail pharmacies nationwide.

Specific to DEMA Members, these insurance offerings are a direct result of listening to the Industry’s needs as expressed during DEMA’s 2020 Vision Sessions conducted during 2011 and 2012. 2020 Vision Session attendees have consistently indicated that access to health insurance and workers compensation insurance options were needed in order to retain good employees and keep businesses thriving and profitable. 

“Every company in the diving industry is faced with escalating health care insurance costs for their owners and employees, and in some cases these companies have had limited or no access to health insurance coverage,” explains DEMA Executive Director, Tom Ingram. “While DEMA has been working during the last year to bring this program to Members, the recent changes in health care insurance requirements in the US make this program even more beneficial for our members.” In most states businesses can even obtain coverage for temporary or part-time employees at affordable rates.

Getting a customized quote through the DEMA Member Insurance Program is easy. Members simply log on through the DEMA Member Dashboard and enter the Insurance Program portal. There, they are able to customize their desired plan by choosing the coverage which works best for their business size, their state, their specific needs, and budget.   Members can even compare their quote with other carriers to make sure they are getting the best rate available for their needs.

DEMA Members are encouraged to
log in to their DEMA Member Dashboard today and get started on a quote through the Insurance Program portal listed within their Member Benefits. A 2012 DEMA Membership provides businesses in the Diving Industry with a number of invaluable benefits.
