CMO Message: Women's Health
Women don’t have unique health needs just because of their anatomy and physiology. Everyday, women experience social and cultural pressures which puts them at risk of developing chronic conditions and worse health outcomes.
For instance, more than 65 million women provide unpaid care to children, elders, and other family members. Many of these women are simultaneously working part or full-time jobs and are mothers to young children and adolescents.
Premium Healthcare for Members
UnitedAg's Benefit Trust (UABT) is the recognized leader in providing health care for agribusiness. We have earned a reputation for successful health plan innovation. Since the creation of the non-profit Trust health care plan in 1983, approximately 3 million individuals have received benefits associated with this association-sponsored plan.
To date, UABT has paid over $1.3 billion in health, dental, vision and life claims to participants. UABT has saved employers millions of dollars in premium costs since the Trust’s inception. These savings, coupled with UABT’s emphasis on customer service, the ability to see any doctor, anytime, and quality health care have made this plan the premier medical coverage available in agribusiness today.
