NASMM Health Now Available
NASMM now offers a healthcare program for you, your employees, families and contractors. NASMM Health, in partnership with the Small Association Leadership Alliance (SALA), is a comprehensive and cost-effective alternative to traditional plans. This new program offers affordable, accessible, and effective healthcare options for NASMM members — both businesses and individuals alike. NASMM Health provides a high-quality, affordable healthcare solution for employers, employees and sole-proprietors. While not health insurance, the program provides 100% coverage for preventative care, options for co-payment features with 100% coverage, and addresses unforeseen medical expenses, such as illness and injury.

This program is not insurance. It is an alternative solution that features a choice of two preventative care plans, each coupled with a medical cost sharing membership for sharing expenses related to unexpected medical needs. Participants can expect to save as much as 60% when compared to health insurance!

NASMM Releases New Member Logo — Enhanced Tag Line
While NASMM is rolling out several new and exciting programs this year, our newest edition is our revamped tagline included in our logo. Through our new tagline, we hope to convey NASMM members can do so much more than move.

"We Simplify Your Home Transitions" tells the bigger story of WHAT you do and HOW you do it. Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and others believe the greatest skill for success in this century is to be flexible — to adapt nimbly to the rapid and unpredictable changes around us. We believe this new tagline helps NASMM AND you do just that.
