Health Solutions

Lawyers and law firms face the reality that healthcare costs are rising and there are very few benefit plan options available for them.  For many firms, one of the largest operating expenses each year is healthcare.

For several years ALPS has been researching the problem.  As a result of our commitment to finding a solution that reverses some of these recent trends, we are now launching a new, viable healthcare alternative for bar associations and their members. The Lawyer Benefit Plan will help to stabilize rising healthcare benefit costs and assure that law firm managers maintain greater control over the eligibility, benefits and premiums being charged.

ALPS is actively involved in developing alternative healthcare solutions for several of its bar endorsed partners. For further information, or if you think this could benefit you or your local bar members, please email us at healthcare@alpsnet.com or call us at (406) 728 - 3113.
