The bang for the buck is there. The customer service for me, personally, and my family, has been incredible. The benefit every year seems to get richer.

I am a trustee and also a member of III-A. One of the things I like best about III-A is the customer service that our employees receive. We love the Telehealth. Any time you have issues, you can get the help you need 24/7.

Our coverage is second to none. Of all the claims we’ve had to make, they have been flawless. I couldn’t be more happy.

What I appreciate most about III-A is how personal the experience has been. There has been advocacy and attentiveness that I don’t think you’ll get anywhere else. I’ve never experienced it anywhere else.
