PTR is excited to announce that our members will now have access to benefits and resources, including comprehensive health coverage options through ICBA, as part of their PTR Membership.
Why is PTR Making These Benefits Available?
At PTR, our mission is to better serve coaches worldwide. Over the last few years, we’ve heard from our members that finding quality benefits and resources as a coach can be a significant challenge. In response, we’ve partnered with the Independent Contractors Benefits Association (ICBA) to offer a range of benefits and resources that you can’t find anywhere else. We want to help ease the burden of finding quality benefits and health coverage options so that you can focus on spending time on the court.
What Does This Mean for Me?
The major advantage of the PTR Membership is that it gives you access to unique benefits and resources that support you as a coaching professional.
All PTR Members will have access to benefits and resources, including comprehensive health coverage options, through the Independent Contractors Benefits Association (ICBA). The ICBA leverages the buying power of its large membership base to negotiate competitive group programs with the largest insurance and benefit providers in the country – resulting in quality, choice, and affordability that you can’t find anywhere else.
Through the ICBA, you’ll have access to a wide range of health coverages designed to fit every lifestyle and budget. Coverage options include Major Medical Plan Options, low-cost Basic Health Plans, Aflac coverages, Telehealth for the whole family, and a free Health Savings Discount Card. Members also have access to a comprehensive suite of support services including free banking services, tax support, student loan support, discounts & savings on hotels, travel, entertainment, and more!
In addition, all PTR Members will have access to two additional offerings:
1. Telehealth coverage for the whole family
Telehealth Coverage with MDLIVE Through our unique telehealth plan, you and your family have access to a board-certified doctor 24/7/365. Our plan includes unlimited doctor’s visits with $0 copay for the whole family, no matter your location. For less than the cost of a trip to the minute clinic or visit to the ER, telehealth is a must for someone without any health coverage.
Telehealth Testimonial:
“I signed up for the telehealth plan after getting sick over a weekend and not being able to find an appointment with a minute clinic. I am so glad I did! I was able to schedule an appointment within minutes and talk to a doctor without ever leaving my house. I had a prescription ready at the pharmacy 20 minutes later and was on my way. I didn’t realize how easy telehealth would be. I’m never going to minute clinic again!” – John P. Hartford, CT
2. professional support with the Contractor Advantage Plan coverage.
Professional Support Services through the Contractor Advantage Plan Have you ever needed professional support or advice but didn’t know who to call? The Contractor Advantage Plan gives you access to a network of trusted professionals who can help with tax, legal, financial & credit assistance, remote tech support, and identity theft. With a single phone call, you will be connected to an expert to help in your area of need.
Contractor Advantage Testimonial Quote:
“I signed up for the Contractor Advantage Plan because I was going through a divorce and in need of some discounted legal support. I instantly connected with the lawyer recommended to me. I was so thankful to have a trusted resource to guide me and support me through the process. My experience was so good that I also took advantage of the free identity theft monitoring and remote tech support available to me through the same plan.” – Mary B., Hilton Head, SC
