Independent Colleges & Universities Association (ICUBA) has created a health care cooperative benefit program exclusively for Independent Colleges and Universities as well as other Private Not-for-Profit Florida Education Employers. Our program works well for you because of our strong volume purchasing power.
Mission Statement
The Mission of ICUBA is to Provide High Quality, Cost Effective Health and Welfare Benefits to Our Members Through Collaboration.
ICUBA has the ability to reduce:
· Administrative fees
· Broker commissions
· Premium taxes
· High margins of insurance fees
Joining ICUBA
Any Private Not-For-Profit Florida Education Employers interested in joining ICUBA should provide ICUBA with a list of home zip codes of their employees so that we can demonstrate the breadth of our provider network. Also, at no cost, we will complete a comparison of a prospective member’s current benefits to those offered by ICUBA. In fact, we will do whatever you require to show you that ICUBA is the superior choice for your institution.
Health care costs continue to represent the largest increase of any operational budget line item. ICUBA is the answer to this challenge for any ICUF or FCIS institution by working to stabilize (and possibly reduce) health insurance costs by isolating the instability and frustration caused by annual renewals, and by offering a health care plan employees learn to trust, thereby increasing employee morale.
