Eder Financial works to keep healthcare costs down for its members. Our medical plan partner, Highmark, keeps an eye on healthcare issues at the federal and state levels and engages with lawmakers on policies that affect costs. Eder is also part of the Church Benefits Association, which lobbies on our behalf. We partner with our benefits consultant, Plexus, to seek out options that give us the best insurance services for the best price.
To keep our medical plan cost-effective, we talk to our partners and assess how much we pay them and how we utilize their services. If we cannot secure a better per-member price, we switch to a different carrier, ensuring you receive the best value.
Leveraging innovation and technology also helps us keep costs down. We embrace the MyHighmark app because it offers a single point of contact. We offer virtual healthcare because it is accessible, it conveniently brings care to people wherever they are and cuts down on overhead. Our health plan also offers a virtual second opinion from the Cleveland Clinic at no additional cost. Virtual care is often more responsive than traditional medical care. It is on-demand care and emblematic of our approach to service, ready and quick to act.
