Warren Flitcroft, Lake Geneva School District Director of Business Services:
"The Lake Geneva Schools have been proud to be members of the WCA Group Health Trust for the past three years. Upon switching to the GHT, our customer service satisfaction increased dramatically and issues with health benefits dropped to near zero in our district. Our health care costs have also become manageable and annual increases are more predictable. This is a very responsive and caring organization that serves its’ members well and works hard to keep costs very manageable. I highly recommend the GHT and our switch to them has been one of our very best decisions."
Allen Buechel, Fond du Lac County Executive
"Fond du Lac County chose the GHT because it was our best affordable option, with great rates. Since we've been in the Trust, the transition has been outstanding -- very smooth. The customer service has been way above expectations. I hear no complaints among our employees and we have gotten great feedback from them -- they are very satisfied.
The GHT has been with us every step of the way. We put our trust in them and this trust has been well founded."
Emily Koczela, Director of Finance, School District of Brown Deer
"Working with Kim Hurtz and the WCA GHT has been an unrivaled customer service experience. Changing companies is a lot of work, but they made it as easy as possible, allocating all the time necessary to answer questions from all employee groups.
Since the changeover, the GHT has never failed to answer promptly and helpfully. Questions and concerns from the staff are always addressed rapidly, sometimes literally within minutes. I appreciate their commitment to our district."
Margaret Bostelmann, Green County Clerk
"Green Lake County been been greatly impacted as a recipient of a GHT Wellness Grant. It is so important to get fit and if you look around our county today, we have a lot of people exercising, paying attention to their weight and taking steps to control their health. There are walking groups and basketball games, as well as an ongoing focus on prevention and early detection.
The regular newsletters and electronic updates from the GHT keep us all well informed. Overall, the GHT has helped us be more proactive and aware of our health."
Rosemary Bohm, Shawano County Clerk
"Shawano County has been so satisfied over the years with the WCA Group Health Trust and one of the reasons is its flexible plan design. We have been able to meet the benefit needs of our employees, while tailoring it to our county. It has always been refreshing and reassuring to know that while healthcare costs continue to increase, the WCA Group Health Trust has worked with Shawano County to create a plan that tempers that trend."
Dave Van Spankeren, Executive Director of Business Services, CESA 6
"Kim Hurtz and the WCA staff have been an instrumental component in creating a smooth transition for your CESA 6 employees. Group presentations, one on one Q&A phone calls and a general feeling of support brought comfort to our staff. The change process was easy and new cards were in the hands of staff before the other health insurance expired.
Jerry Moynihan, President, Oconto Falls Education Association
"The WCA Group Health Trust plan is set up to help all Wisconsin government agencies including school districts. The network of participating hospitals, doctors and clinics is statewide. This helped CESA 6 make the decision to become a member of the WCA Group Health Trust, because we have employees residing in Green Bay to Milwaukee."
"The Oconto Falls Education Association switched to GHT in the fall of 2009. GHT offered to match our previous plan and went one step farther, they offered us more. Working with Kim Hurtz and GHT has been a very good experience for our members. GHT has given us great service, an excellent product and reduced our health care cost considerably. I would encourage everybody looking for health care options to contact GHT and look at their products."
Jim Sadowski, School District of Brown Deer, Retiree:
"I retired in 2006 and like many others was somewhat apprehensive about how a new carrier, the WCA Group Health Trust, would benefit me.
After nearly a year, I can honestly say the WCA Group Health Trust:
• Offers higher network savings than WEA Trust.
• Pays all claims in the same timely manner as WEA Trust did.
• Gives me a better prescription plan by allowing me to obtain a 90-day supply at my local pharmacy without having to mail anything.
• Allows me one free annual eye exam.
• Has allowed me to keep all my doctors.
• AND saves the District money at the same time
I am very pleased with the WCA Group Health Trust plan and hope we continue with it. Thank you for your efforts in continuing to provide outstanding health coverage for Brown Deer retirees."
