The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is partnering with Aetna to give Hispanic-owned businesses and their employees access to individual health care plans.
Individual plans will be made available to USHCC members through this agreement. USHCC members and their families will be able to select from a wide variety of plan options, including PPO-style plans; high-deductible health plans compatible with health savings accounts; preventive and hospital plans that combine coverage for preventive care with catastrophic coverage for services like inpatient hospital care and outpatient surgery; and an optional dental PPO plan.
"This groundbreaking program benefits Hispanic business enterprises that comprise a very important segment of the U.S. population and continue to contribute to our economy. Aetna has a long-standing, proven track record of providing affordable, reliable and comprehensive health insurance and through this agreement we can proudly say that steps are being made to bridge the gap and provide this type of critically needed coverage to Hispanic business owners and their employees," said USHCC President and CEO Javier Palomarez.

Aetna says the USHCC plans will include expanded services not offered in the insurer's standard plans, including a new consumer portal for online services and a Member Assistance Program.
The plans will be offered initially in Florida, Pennsylvania, and Texas but will be expanded to more than 200 local chambers and nearly three million Hispanic businesses across the country.
Founded in 1979, the USHCC actively promotes the economic growth and development of Hispanic entrepreneurs and represents the interests of nearly 3 million Hispanic-owned businesses in the United States that combined generate in excess of $420 billion annually. It also serves as the umbrella organization for more than 200 local Hispanic chambers and business associations in the United States and Puerto Rico.
