North Texas Employer Health Plan Cooperative
• Grapevine Chamber partners with United Healthcare to create the North
Texas Employer Health Plan Cooperative.
• 22 Counties are included in the NTEHP allowing for a larger association
plan. We have invited over 128 Chambers within the region to
participate, with 36 signed up to date.
• This was made possible by Association Health Plan rules issued by the
U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) in July 2018. The effective coverage
date for the new North Texas Employer Health Plan Cooperative as open
enrollment for groups began on November 1.
• The opportunity for this new flexibility is due to an Executive Order
issued last fall by the White House that allows for the creation of
Association Health Plans for small employers with 50 or fewer employees
on a regional group basis. Those regulations were finalized in late June,
using the efforts of the Lubbock Chamber who actively urged and
provided input into this new rule.
• This allows our small businesses the opportunity to purchase plans that
NORTH TEXAS have been formerly only available to businesses with 100+ employees.
