LIG Solutions Partnership Expands Insurance Options for CSCAA Members

LIG Solutions, a division of Lighthouse Insurance Group, announces a partnership with College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) to offer its members, their families, their employees, and others committed to the CSCAA mission access to exclusive healthcare insurance coverages.

“A little more than 80% of college coaches receive health insurance through their college or university and even fewer of our associate members receive benefits through their club or high school. This will help us make coaching a viable profession and keep good coaches in the sport." says Greg Earhart, CSCAA Executive Director.

The CSCAA’s new agreement with lig solutions will make health insurance options available to cscaa members.

“As the father to three college swimmers, McNichols has a connection to the CSCAA. Eldest daughter Macie McNichols was an All-American at Ohio State and named to the CSCAA Scholar All-America team in 2018. “Given Tim’s connection to the sport, he and LIG are the perfect partners for our members to work with.”

Healthcare is not a one size fits all endeavor, and neither is the insurance coverages offered through LIG Solutions. The exclusive offerings include a full suite of medical, dental, vision and disability coverages, as well as the new “Health Reimbursement Arrangements” (HRAs) finalized in June 2019 for employers/ employees. This program also includes access to information on the latest healthcare, personal wellness, and lifestyle trends.

“We want to provide access to quality healthcare products that fit the specific needs of the CSCAA’s members,” says Jason Farro, CEO of Lighthouse Insurance Group. “The plans can be tailored to fit the individual needs of members, their families, and employees that off the shelf programs may not be able to provide.”

Designed as a tool for membership organizations to attract and retain members, the health insurance coverage offered through LIG utilizes plan options from many of the leading national carriers, and the program is designed to be a vehicle to promote healthier lifestyle choices and preventive care options for the organization’s membership. The program will be made available to all CSCAA members including associate members.

Coverages are offered concierge style to members in a centralized portal, thus eliminating the hassle and cutting through the confusion that often accompanies shopping for healthcare insurance. The offerings – which are culled from nationally recognized carriers in all 50 states – offer solutions that are designed to meet individuals’, family members,’ and employees’ specific health needs and budgets.

“Health care coverage is a concern of nearly every single American and their family, and this program is a valuable tool in a membership organization’s member growth and retention arsenal,” says Tim McNichols, director of business development for LIG Solutions. “Organization’s can leverage this exclusive member benefit to build an even stronger bond with their member and with the new Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) program we can offer options that cover nearly 100% of the membership including employee classes like part-time and seasonal workers as well as fulltime and 1099/independent contractors with individual coverage options.”

As the father to three college swimmers, McNichols has a connection to the CSCAA. Eldest daughter Macie McNichols was an All-American at Ohio State and named to the CSCAA Scholar All-America team in 2018. “Given Tim’s connection to the sport, he and LIG are the perfect partners for our members to work with."

The program is scheduled to launch this fall and CSCAA community members will be notified when the program is live at www.LIGmembers.com/CSCAA
