The OneZone Chamber of Commerce has announced a new partnership with Advantage 1 Health aimed at helping small businesses gain access to more affordable healthcare coverage options.

The program, backed by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, is designed specifically for small employers seeking ways to control rising healthcare costs while continuing to offer competitive employee benefits.

According to the chamber, the Advantage 1 Health plan combines large-group purchasing power with customizable medical, dental and vision coverage options through Anthem. The program also includes stop-loss protection intended to shield employers from unexpectedly high medical claims.

“OneZone Chamber is proud to offer solutions that help local businesses remain competitive,” said Jack Russell in a news release. “Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, and access to affordable healthcare remains one of the biggest challenges many employers face.”

The plan provides access to Anthem’s BlueCard provider network, along with virtual healthcare services, wellness programs, mental health resources and administrative support tools.

Chamber officials said the partnership is intended to benefit both employers and employees by making healthcare coverage more predictable and affordable, while also supporting economic growth through local chamber organizations across Indiana.
