Battling rising health care costs? Do you lack full coverage through your employee benefits? Finally - affordable, quality health care for the entire family.

You want the best care when it comes to your family’s health. But quality care at an affordable price can be out of reach for working families. Even families with some insurance coverage often have high out-of-pocket expenses.

Union Plus programs can help you save by filling in benefit gaps, by providing value-added services that may not be covered under your current insurance. They are also designed to encourage health lifestyles so you can potentially avoid chronic illnesses that tend to cause your premiums to increase. For instance, you have access to discounts to over 3,000 health clubs nationwide including Bally Total Fitness, select Gold’s Gyms and many other top fitness clubs.
