Pea Ridge, AR. (PRWEB) June 3, 2009 -- The Regional Chamber of Commerce today announces the availability of Arkansas' very first health insurance purchasing group or HIPG, designated as the Chamber Alliance Program (CAP) to local area businesses. The purpose of the Chamber Alliance Program is to bring affordable health care coverage to small businesses (1-199 employees) who are members of The Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Using legislation developed in 2001 by John Hartnedy, Deputy Director of the Arkansas Insurance Department, the Chamber Alliance Program formed a strategic alliance with one of Arkansas' major health group carriers (QualChoice of Arkansas) to bring this new program to chamber members across the state.

Effectively immediately, chamber members in good standing with The Regional Chamber of Commerce will be able to purchase health insurance coverage that brings significant changes in the way that health insurance is delivered to small business. Utilizing a new program that will give employers up to 4 different plans to choose from, chamber members can create their own custom health care program. A primary focus of the program will be on preventive care, especially for those groups where individuals currently have no coverage or where participation levels in current plans are running below 70% participation. Groups of one will also be able to participate!

The Chamber Alliance Program (CAP) is being offered statewide through 53 participating Chambers of Commerce and The Regional Chamber of Commerce is proud to offer this program in our local community to area businesses. Eligible chamber members can purchase this coverage from any current licensed agent who is also a member in good standing with The Regional Chamber of Commerce.
