A Case Study

A self employed business owner and spouse from Seattle in their 40's with two children, all in good health, with no chronic medical conditions has just received a major rate increase from their insurance company. NASRO is able to take the time to review the situation and make recommendations on some of the newest plans available from well respected Washington State carriers that can lower the monthly premium increase.

What people are saying about NASRO!

I have nothing but praise for the good folks at NASRO ( National Association of Socially Responsible Organizations ).

If you have ever dealt with insurance providers, you know that the usual goal of the person who answers the phone is to say " no " and hang up as quickly as possible. My experience with Barbara Gibson at NASRO could not have been more different.

She actually did the math on whether it would be better for me to stick with COBRA for 18 months before switching to the NASRO plan. The one time I actually had a problem with coverage for a medical condition, she not only straightened it out, but also remembered to ask me if I was feeling better after the procedure.

Deborah Elizabeth Finn

P.S. Full disclosure. NASRO does not compensate me in any way for praising it immoderately. I am just a fan.

NASRO's Alliant Plus Plan from Group Health Options is our group plan for self employed people, independent contractors and small businesses.

Our group health insurance is administered by NASRO and we offer the best service of any group in the state. We act as your human resources department so you are not dealing blindly with a large health plan on your own.

NASRO believes no one in Washington should be denied coverage due to a pre-existing medical condition, and with NASRO's Plan No Member Can Be Denied Coverage.

This is a great plan for baby boomers who have left the rat race, are working for themselves and want a good plan that will offer real protection to help maintain a medical condition under good control or provide piece of mind in case major illness or accident occurs.

Eligibility for part timers working as little as 20 hours of work per week to participate in a high quality group plan

Friendly Group Service with flexible and accurate billing and member service is provided by NASRO's professional staff

One of the best benefit plans in the state helps self employed people and small businesses from one to five employees operate at the same level as big corporations. If your group is made up of 6 or more employees please fill out a proposal request form to your left across the page on the link highlighted in blue.

The ultimate choice of providers anywhere is available with NASRO's group plan under Options Alliant Plus Health Plan. If your doctors are not on the list of participating providers you can still be covered with excellent benefits and continue seeing your doctors. Options Alliant Plus Plan also lets the member see a doctor within the Group Health Cooperative network, the Virginia Mason Network and the Everett Clinic Network at substantial savings. This does not mean that once you see one of the Network doctors you must stay with that doctor. Members are free to change to any physician anytime they want to. Only Options Alliant Plus Plan lets members go back and forth between Network and non-Network physicians.
