For Immediate Release: November 15, 2021

Brookfield, Wis. – Quality, affordable health insurance is a sought-after benefit by employees. To help funeral home owners ensure they are offering the best possible insurance to retain and attract employees, the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) has partnered with a new Endorsed Provider, Mercer Health & Benefits LLC, to offer NFDA Health Plans. Mercer offers access to medical, dental, vision and life insurance plans that are compliant with the requirements of the Affordable Care Act. 

Mercer understands the unique healthcare needs of small to medium-sized companies and is committed to their success. NFDA Health Plans offers flexible coverage options for employers of all sizes in all states. Mercer also offers: 

• Low minimums: enrollment for as few as two employees
• Easy online enrollment: Mercer clients and their employees can enroll easily online
• HR administrative portal: Employers can easily manage multiple carriers and plans

During a free, no-obligation call, Mercer will discuss an employer’s insurance needs, offer quotes from several well-known local and national health carriers, and help identify the best plan options. Plans for NFDA-member funeral homes can be effective as soon as January 1, 2022. 

“Finding an insurance plan that offers good coverage and is reasonably priced is a big challenge, especially for small employers,” said NFDA President Randy Anderson. “We’re happy to have a brand-new insurance option for NFDA member funeral homes and their employees. If you haven’t made your benefit selections for 2022, I encourage you to call Mercer today to learn more about the options available to you and your employees.”
