News & Info

Another Year Of Low Rates

If you haven't checked out the BIAW Health Insurance Program lately, it's time you looked again. With rates that are 15% to 30% below the market and unheard of rate stability (less than 3% annual rate increase in 2005 and 2006), BIAW's Health Insurance Program offers employers a competitive edge in providing health insurance to employees.

Remember, you can join the BIAW program at the beginning of any month, regardless of when your current plan renews. Can you afford to wait any longer? Over 80,000 people get their insurance through the BIAW – why not you?

If you have questions or would like to receive a free quote for your company please call Capital Benefit Services at 1-800-545-7011, ext. 6.
