Women In Business Breakfast: Business Killers® Workshop Chamber ladies are invited to join us at the Chamber office

Wednesday, August 5, at 7:30am for a Business Killers®

Workshop presented by Cheryl Evans and Beth Bowman

with Centric Financial Group.

The Business Killers name refers specifically to the six most

common mistakes that can destroy a business and compro-

mise everyone involved. It is an interactive workshop that

lets you examine your own situation using an entertaining

presentation format that will help you to identify, anticipate

and avoid these prevalent pitfalls.

Each of the six modules dramatizes a critical error in plan-

ning and protecting a business, and the impact on the

owner’s financial future.

Most Consumers Value Integrated Benefits for Time and Cost Savings

Whether it’s dental insurance or the smartphone, consumers want products that offer simplification and savings. In a new survey, Anthem

Blue Cross and Blue Shield asked Americans what products make their lives easier and the findings revealed that integrated products and

services are highly valued – for example, the smartphone (74 percent), printer/copier/scanner (64 percent) and the toaster oven (36 percent).

And, when it comes to insurance, consumers overwhelmingly (81 percent) said it would be extremely helpful to trust the same carrier to pro-

vide their dental, vision and health coverage.

So, what specifically are consumers looking for when it comes to selecting an insurance plan? Survey respondents said a range of factors are

important to consider, but they most frequently point to cost as being an extremely important aspect (67 percent), followed by comprehensive-

ness of coverage (61 percent), customer service (60 percent) and ease of use (58 percent). Additionally, 86 percent would expect to save

time, save money or receive improved care if they had the same carrier integrate dental with their vision and medical benefits.

In the current health care environment, employers are looking for products that offer their employees exceptional value i. The good news is

that simpler processes, vast networks and deep discounts offered by multiline carriers like Anthem can provide employers and employees

with the exceptional value they are seeking.

“For example, we offer a vast choice of dental benefits that employees want, along with large, reliable provider networks that make it easy and

affordable for consumers to maintain good oral health,” said Erin Hoeflinger, President of Anthem in Ohio. “We’ve built strong relationships

with the dentists in our network and we have negotiated rates, which saves members on average 25 to 32 percent on their covered dental

services.”

In addition to seeing a cost savings, consumers can expect to save time when they select a multiline carrier. Half of the consumers surveyed

(50 percent) say that figuring out costs is the most time consuming aspect of health management. Two-in-five also say it’s time consuming to

find health care providers that accept their insurance (41 percent) and to get their doctors to talk with each other to coordinate care (39 per-

cent).

“With all of the advantages available to consumers and employers who get their benefits from a multiline carrier, there’s no reason to settle for

the inefficiencies of having multiple benefit providers, said Hoeflinger. “We’re meeting the needs of both employer and employee by providing

affordable and comprehensive coverage benefits, which helps save time and money every step of the way.”

This report presents the findings of a telephone survey conducted among 1,005 adults, 503 men and 502 women 18 years of age and older,

living in the continental United States. Interviewing for this ORC International CARAVAN® Survey was completed on July 10-13, 2014. 605

interviews were from the landline sample and 400 interviews from the cell phone sample.

The margin of error for the total sample is ±3.0 percent at the 95% confidence level. This means that if we were to replicate the study, we

would expect to get the same results within 3.0 percentage points 95 times out of 100.
