INSURANCE SOLUTIONS Western Growers Insurance Services. We Are Just Getting Started.

We’ve leveraged the association’s intellectual capital with contacts in the insurance industry to better serve the agricultural and food community with expertise, resources, and solutions not available elsewhere. Our unique position allows us to treat our members like family, not just prospects or clients.

YOU CAN’T MEASURE WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE.

We’re bringing clarity and taking out the complexity of choosing the right health insurance coverage that suits your needs. It’s time to GROW with change.

After four years in development, we successfully rolled out our Connected Worker Program, which is focused on keeping insurance premiums from increasing by reducing workers’ exposure to injury. Created a COVID-19 data tracking capability to help decrease the time spent handling paperwork and questionnaires.

CHALLENGES FACING AGRICULTURE • Rising healthcare costs and premiums • Increased claims driven by chronic conditions

• Healthcare literacy • HR workloads and compliance

Navigating health insurance coverage has become increasingly complex — and costly — for the agricultural industry. Neither employers nor employees receive clear, transparent information from providers. HR is overwhelmed with perplexing workloads and compliance issues, and employers face increasing claims linked to chronic conditions. To meet these challenges, we’ve re-engineered and expanded our service model to help curb rising healthcare costs, support HR, and improve transparency and healthcare literacy. We’re taking a data-driven approach, from utilizing predictive modeling and claims data to offering health management tools that help you better educate your employees, lowering overall costs. By leveraging our benefits database and offering programs such as our proprietary Western Growers Assurance Trust, we work with you to create a three-year plan to bring clarity to the process. We provide benefit packages that utilize the most affordable networks of care, offering custom tiers of medical access while addressing chronic conditions. And we help you manage your risk with our full-service solution that takes you through identification, analysis, control, financing, and administration. With nearly a century of experience, the nuances of agri-business filter into all of our solutions and services. When you work with Western Growers, we don’t treat you as just another customer — you’re a member of our community. Western Growers Insurance Services; GROW With Change.
