OT-PPO's_ Not a sales pitch-Our Co is looking at this.

[Guest guest]

THIS ISNT A SALES PITCH.

JUST FOR YOUR REFERENCE.

For those of you who get stuck with selecting your company's healt insurance

you may want to look at the links below.

Our 15 employee company got hit with a 50% increase for our existing PPO

plan this year. As a result we are looking at a partial self insured plan.

Several small companies in our area have moved to this. Because the concept

is different, some small business owners get shaky listening to the concept.

A bunch of companies, county govts and school systems are adopting it. It

may be one of the few ways to control future costs, especially for those of

us with small companies.
