NATM Association Health Plan: Empowering Members Through MMA Partnership

The National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM) understands the challenges members face in providing affordable, high-quality health benefits for their employees. Rising healthcare costs, limited plan options, and regulatory hurdles make it increasingly difficult for small and mid-sized businesses to compete with larger corporations. That’s why NATM has partnered with Marsh McLennan Agency (MMA) to bring members an exclusive Association Health Plan (AHP)—a powerful solution designed to provide cost-effective, comprehensive health coverage tailored to the needs of our industry. 

What is the NATM Association Health Plan? 

AHP is a group health insurance plan that allows NATM Members to band together and leverage their collective purchasing power. By pooling resources, members gain access to better rates, enhanced coverage options, and increased negotiating power with insurers—providing savings and stability in an unpredictable healthcare market. 

What This Means for NATM Members 

1. Stronger Negotiating Power 

Through the NATM AHP, members gain access to the same benefits and pricing typically reserved for large corporations. This means lower premiums, reduced administrative costs, and better overall plan options compared to small-group or individual market plans. 

2. Tailored Plan Designs 

One-size-fits-all plans don’t work for everyone. The partnership with MMA allows NATM to offer a range of customizable plan options, ensuring that members can select benefits that best fit their workforce and budget. 

3. Significant Cost Savings 

By pooling resources, risk is mitigated, and overall healthcare costs go down for members. The result? More affordable health coverage for your business and employees. 

4. Simplified Compliance and Administration 

Navigating the complex world of healthcare regulations can be overwhelming. With the NATM AHP, members benefit from MMA’s expertise in plan administration, ensuring compliance with all necessary legal requirements while reducing administrative burdens. 

5. A Competitive Edge in Hiring and Retention 

In today’s job market, offering strong healthcare benefits is crucial to attracting and retaining top talent. The NATM AHP allows members to provide high-quality benefits comparable to those offered by larger companies, helping them stay competitive. 

6. Long-Term Stability 

Healthcare costs fluctuate, but through an AHP, members gain stability by spreading risk across a larger pool. This helps prevent unpredictable premium spikes and ensures sustainable long-term benefits.
