Alfa Health Plans Now Accepting Applications

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Oct. 1 - Applications are now available for Alfa Health Plans - a new health care option for members of the Alabama Farmers Federation.

Farmers, small-business owners and others can apply for enrollment through Alfa Insurance agents across Alabama, plus via the Federation's Alfa Health team.

"Alfa has been a trusted brand for families in this state for decades. We are proud to add Alfa Health Plans to our product lines for home, auto and life coverage," said Federation and Alfa President Jimmy Parnell. "I'm convinced Alfa Health Plans will help the people of Alabama access more affordable health care while improving their quality of life."

Alfa Health Plans offers a variety of products available for enrollment year-round. Membership is required to enjoy access to Alfa Health Plans, which includes individual and family options with preventative care; prescription drug coverage; and dental and vision services.

A major medical plan is accessible for members seeking catastrophic protection. A high-deductible plan is offered, too, and meets all federal requirements necessary to open a Health Savings Account (HSA).

Alfa Health Plans were authorized by legislation signed into law May 7 by Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey.

"With our members facing the worst economic crisis since the 1980s, we were determined to provide this cost-saving option as quickly as possible," Parnell said. "I can't thank our staff and leadership enough for their work to bring these products to market in just five months. We also appreciate the legislators who supported Alfa Health Plans legislation, especially sponsors Sen. Arthur Orr, R-Decatur, and Rep. David Faulkner, R-Mountain Brook."

In addition to Alfa Health Plans, the Federation offers traditional health insurance products and Medicare supplements in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi.

"We have provided health coverage for members since 1968," said Parnell. "Alfa Health Plans coverage is just another tool to help us better serve our members."
