Expanding Truck Driver Health Insurance Benefits and Support
Healthcare stays in the news with ongoing discussions about pre-existing conditions, coverage access, and open enrollment starting November 1st. Motor Carriers can stay competitive by partnering with Third Party Suppliers to offer Voluntary Benefits to their drivers. Owner Operators typically rely on expensive individual truck driver health insurance plans, which often require physicals and exclude those with chronic conditions.
Due to their classification, many Owner Operators cannot access employer-sponsored health benefits and must navigate coverage alone. Enrollment First, Inc. helps bridge that gap by offering trusted health insurance guidance through the National Association of Workplace Programs (NAWP).
NAWP partners with top-rated national insurers to offer guaranteed acceptance—no health exams required—for medical, life, and disability plans. Additionally, NAWP helps drivers shop, review, and enroll in 2021 Individual Major Medical coverage starting November 1st.
As more fleets join the program, Owner Operators are clearly prioritizing healthcare, especially during the ongoing pandemic. We expect increased enrollment in major medical and supplemental plans compared to previous years.
Reports also indicate that 2021 individual plan premiums will remain strong due to continued pandemic effects.
We’re here to help. Our goal is to simplify administration and provide year-round, reliable benefits for Owner Operators. Contact our team today to learn more about the program and how it supports both clients and their drivers.
