Bank Health Care Consortium of PA

The Bank Heath Care Consortium of PA is a unique health care alternative for Pennsylvania-based financial institutions and Affiliate Members of the PA Bankers Association. Since its launch in July 2007, the PA Bankers Services Corporation, Webber Advisors and The Benecon Group, Inc. have collaborated to provide every consortium member with leverage and benefits of economies of scale, plan design flexibility and significant cost control strategies for their group health plan.

The value of the program is based upon the collective efforts of the entire consortium. Every additional member reinforces the alliance and the ability to control your own destiny. In addition, as health care reform legislation continues, a self-funded program will aid every organization in positioning themselves to better control long-term costs. Participants not only have the ability to change the game but be part of the solution!
