The Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce a new partnership with the Indiana Chamber, the Indy Chamber, and SIHO Insurance Services to bring ChamberCare, a high-value health plan designed specifically for small and mid-sized businesses, to employers in the Bloomington community. Available exclusively to members of the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce, ChamberCare provides competitive pricing, expansive statewide provider access, and enhanced customer service features aimed at addressing one of the most persistent challenges facing small businesses: affordable, high-quality healthcare coverage.

ChamberCare is a MEWA (multiple employer welfare arrangement) available to employers with 2–50 employees, offering advantages such as expedited claims, zero- or low-cost medications, more affordable outpatient procedures, and access to every major hospital and health system in Indiana through the TruConnect provider network. Many employers are already receiving quotes up to 20% lower than comparable competitor rates.

“Providing affordable, high-quality healthcare options has been an important initiative for us, and our recent member survey made clear that this was a top priority for local employers,” said Eric Spoonmore, President & CEO of the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce. “We heard our members and we delivered—ChamberCare is a meaningful solution that supports small businesses, strengthens our workforce, and helps companies attract and retain talent.”

Formed six years ago and refreshed this year with new industry-leading providers, ChamberCare leverages partnerships with SIHO Insurance Services, CVS Caremark, and Delta Dental to deliver a best-in-class package for small business healthcare needs. SIHO, headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, is recognized for its personalized service model paired with robust, statewide coverage options.
