As CAPCA’s exclusive health insurance broker and a whole-hearted believer in the consumer-driven healthcare concept, CAPS prides itself in offering insurance plans to fit the needs and budgets of each agency, individual and student members in the face of rising healthcare costs. Since not one agency or individual has the same need, CAPS is committed to working with each member to help you make informed choices from a whole range of insurers and plans.
Since your options are only limited to what is available in today’s insurance marketplace, you are provided with more choice and flexibility than ever; that’s why CAPS has taken careful consideration in identifying the following carriers and plans that we believe are able to offer affordable solutions. Moreover, you will not find any of these plans for less by looking elsewhere, even by going direct to the carrier.
Please note that CAPS is not limited to offering the following carriers and plans nor does CAPS “endorse” these plans to be the least expensive options available.
