Save On Group Health Benefits for Your Small Business

Join the Anthem SOCA Benefit Plan and provide your employees with comprehensive, affordable health coverage designed specifically for small businesses.

What is the SOCA Benefit Plan?

The SOCA Benefit Plan administered by Anthem is a multiple employer welfare arrangement (MEWA) that allows small businesses and sole proprietors to join together in a self-funded group to access health benefits typically reserved for large employers.

Members share in the overall claims risk—helping to keep rates more stable and affordable. As part of a large, self-funded pool, you’ll also get the peace of mind that comes with Anthem’s stop-loss coverage, which protects the group financially if claims are higher than expected.

What Our Customers Say

"Our company is participating in the SOCA Benefit Plan. We are extremely pleased on how easy it is to enroll, our broker is very knowledgeable providing us with many options to pick from and the best part is the savings received compared to other plans."

"We have been thrilled with the Anthem SOCA Benefit Medical plan. It’s an essential part of our strategy for recruiting and retaining the talent we need for our team. We even have a significant number of our Chamber member business taking advantage of such a phenomenal program."

Matt Lofy
President & CEO, Worthington Area Chamber of Commerce

"Consoliplex became a participating employer in the SOCA Benefit Plan as of January 1, 2024. Our employee health coverage was previously through a similar program, both of which provide significant savings over other available programs in the market. The SOCA Plan through Anthem provided even further savings over our prior coverage. Anthem’s online Sydney tool has been a huge hit with our employees as well, be it for wellness rewards or just the depth of information available to read. While financial savings is a strong driver of decisions for us as a company, working with partners that share our values and are aligned in our goals as an organization is even more important to us. SOCA and Anthem both fit that mold as tremendous partners to Consoliplex and we we are proud to do business with them."
