Call SET for consultative services!

Effective Oct. 1, 2007, all districts are required to solicit bids whenever a new medical benefit plan is established, or every three years if continuing the same plan. The school insurance specialists at SET are available to assist your district with the bidding process, so you can find the best options for employee benefits.

Our service is free
Preparing a Request For Proposal (RFP) is a complex and time-consuming process. To assist during bidding, districts are encouraged to use a consultative service, such as SET. SET develops RFPs at no charge to districts. If coverage is placed with a carrier that SET represents, it will receive a commission.

Comprehensive service
SET will work with your district to help you determine which health care choices to pursue. Options may include:

• Preferred Provider Organization plans;
• High-deductible health plans with Health Savings Accounts or Health Reimbursement Arrangements; or
• Wrap plans.

Once you have identified your district’s needs, SET will submit your RFPs to a variety of carriers including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Aetna, Priority Health, Health Plus, McLaren Health Plan, Humana and others.
