CECHCR's Free Health Benefits Training
Districts can gain the knowledge and tools they need to make more informed health care purchasing decisions by signing up for free health benefits trainings sponsored by CECHCR. Make a difference for district employees by putting into action free strategies and tools that can lead to cost savings, such as how to choose a health plan, sample
model contracts and RFPs, and how to negotiate more effectively with a broker to get the best coverage at the lowest cost.

The severity of the health care crisis combined with escalating costs is having a devastating effect on public education. In response, public education leaders—representing both management and labor organizations—have joined together in their commitment to reduce costs and ensure quality, affordable health care for all public school employees. From offering free trainings that empower school districts and unions to make better health care decisions to exploring alternative, cost effective methods of providing coverage, CECHCR is leveraging its combined power and resources to find solutions to this crisis in public education. 
 

CECHCR's Second Opinion Program Helps Save Millions!

“We are thrilled with the healthcare cost savings CECHCR helped us achieve when we were told it just wasn’t possible.  Their honesty, knowledge and assistance each step of the way helped us move in the right direction and get more for our money.”
Superintendent Marc Winger, Newhall School District

“We have better benefits and costs, there is less stress, and I’m so much happier my members are taken care of.”
CSEA President Michelle Aguilar-Brown, Ukiah Unified School District

Another solution to your skyrocketing health care costs might be CECHCR’s Module V Second Opinion services. The experience at Moreno Valley Unified School District is one Second Opinion example.  When Moreno Valley was faced with high double digit increases in their health benefits premium three years in a row, they decided to see if CECHCR could help them.  During its review process the CECHCR team discovered that the district was significantly overpaying in many different areas.  CECHCR helped them move to a new provider which saved the district and employees $3 million in the first year. 

CECHCR has now helped multiple districts save many millions of dollars per year. If you are interested in CECHCR’s Second Opinion program, sign up here for a free Orientation session to learn more about it.  Second Opinion is a fee-for-service program, based on the current and future savings we can bring you.  Fees go to pay our expert consultants at J Glynn & Co, and a small percentage goes to support and continue the work of the non-profit CECHCR initiative.

“Thanks to CECHCR, we turned a $1 million deficit into a positive balance, plus provided better benefits for employees for less money.”
Chief Business Official Sandra Harrington, Ukiah Unified School District

“We’ve had no complaints. Savings are substantial and people are happy about it. It has helped everyone.”
Newhall Teachers Association President Carole Magnuson, Newhall School District

“CECHCR has helped save between $250 - $1,000 per month out of our employee's pockets.”
Assistant Superintendent Melody Canady, Greenfield Union School District

"CECHCR helped us get more ‘bang for the buck’ with a better variety of affordable plans that meet individual needs of employees with the same out-of-pocket costs.”
CSEA President Lorri Limoges, Moreno Valley Unified School District
