The Association Benefits Solution (TABS) – The exclusive health care employee benefit program endorsed for use by Coca-Cola Bottlers

TABS-LogoTABS is a unique, cost-effective health insurance option designed for employers across a wide range of sizes and number of employees. TABS can trace its origin directly back to The Coca-Cola Bottlers’ Association where the program was first launched in 2010. CCBA operated the program until late 2012 at which time the program’s size and scale resulted in a decision to divest to a strong, new owner and a leader in the insurance field.

National General (formerly GMAC Insurance) assumed ownership of the program in September 2012 and today, TABS is wholly-owned and operated by this leading provider of insurance programs. The TABS solution is designed to fit the needs of employers with as few as 10 benefit-eligible employees and includes additional capabilities for large employers with employee populations in the thousands. TABS also offers solutions to employers with less than 10 employees through a separate division. CCBA can assist employers of any size in accessing these solutions.

TABS is a cutting edge, self-funded group benefit solution designed in a manner that still limits risk for the employer. The driving principle of the TABS solution is linking an employer’s medical benefit costs to the actual claims incurred by its employees. The unique stop loss feature provides protection if claims are higher than expected, therefore allowing employers to cap their cost while being able to capture the benefits of a self-funded plan. The program delivers Fortune-500-level services through choice of networks and high-quality wellness and care management programs, and is served by a Delaware-licensed stop-loss captive wholly owned by National General.

CCBA maintains a Strategic Partnership with TABS, and the program is the exclusive health-care employee benefit program endorsed for use by our Membership. This program, and the scaled pricing CCBA Members enjoy, is also available to other businesses both in the beverage distribution arena as well as other industries. Due to expected changes stemming from healthcare reform, the TABS solution is particularly well-suited for foodservice customers of the Coca-Cola system.
