Since SCANPO's inception, we have
been working to procure affordable, comprehensive health
insurance for charitable nonprofits in South Carolina. After two
unsuccessful attempts at creating an association health plan,
the most recent during the 2000-2001 fiscal year, SCANPO has
resolved to look for answers elsewhere.
We are currently pursuing these
alternatives:
-
Gaining entry into the South
Carolina state employee benefit program with a particular
emphasis on health insurance.
This is a concerted effort that was adopted by our board as
part of SCANPO's 2001-2003 legislative agenda. This is not
going to be an immediate solution to the health insurance
problem but this is the most desirable end result for
nonprofits in South Carolina.
-
Investigating the
feasibility of medical savings accounts (MSAs).
These accounts are relatively new and have some very
attractive qualities, but the long-term effectiveness of these
accounts has not yet been measured.
-
Procuring other association
employee benefits such as retirement plans, supplemental
insurance, credit union membership, etc.
SCANPO is working on procuring these types of benefits for
our members as one way for them to attract and retain
employees in a competitive job market.
As SCANPO moves forward on these
alternatives, we will make our members aware of any new
developments. If you have any questions or comments, please
contact SCANPO at (803)929-0399 or email
info@scanpo.org.
