Grapevine, Texas, June 8, 2009 -- During tough economic times, the National Association for the Self-Employed has introduced two new membership packages with additional benefits and opportunities to help micro-business owners save money on their business and health needs.
Most exciting in the new membership packages, called Gold and Silver, is the accessibility of health insurance options from a new partnership with Healthcare Solutions Team that provides access to seven health insurance companies: Assurant Health, UnitedHealthOne, Mutual of Omaha, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, United American, Humana and National Union. These respected companies offer a variety of products and plans customized to meet the special needs of micro-business owners and sole proprietors. With several companies offering customizable health options, there's a plan for everyone.
Also in the new Gold membership package is increased term life insurance of $20,000 for the primary member, $5,000 for the spouse, and $1,000 for dependent children. For Silver members, the term life amounts, included at no additional cost, are $10,000 for the primary member, $2,000 for spouse, and $500 for dependent children. Gold membership offers a per-occurrence automatic payment of $200 for ambulance usage.
A new NASE prescription drug discount card is also included in both new membership packages. NASE Members can save up to 55% on their prescriptions for their entire family. This card is included at no extra cost to the membership.
For their business, the new NASE Gold Membership includes free Web site design of up to seven pages of a new site, and free usage of an online contact database manager with integrated HTML e-mail and printing capabilities.
