Healthy Business Alliance®
To benefit our members, the Covington-Newton County Chamber of Commerce participates in the Healthy Business Alliance (R), which is a statewide program with over 140 Chambers serving more than 150 Georgia counties and communities throughout Georgia. By using large group buying power to negotiate advantages on group products, many include discounted premiums. Products and services are made available through well-known companies and are sold through local insurance agents.
Health Insurance - Just because the Affordable Care Act does not permit premium discounts on health insurance doesn't mean you can't get the best price available in the marketplace. Local insurance brokers working in concert with your Chamber's Healthy Business Alliance (R) program provide access to a choice of top insurance carriers for groups, individuals, and seniors.
