3 Share Plan (Medical Insurance for
Small Business Owners)
Guest Speaker: Jim
Rodriguez
UTMB
receives grant to help implement 3-Share Plan
By
John Koloen
OCT. 4, 2007--The Houston Endowment has awarded UTMB a $1.6
million, two-year grant to help implement a pilot project
designed to improve access to health care for the working
uninsured in Galveston County.
The pilot project will allow UTMB to implement the Galveston
3-Share Plan health benefits program, develop an electronic
medical record system for the uninsured in Galveston County, and
expand on UTMB’s care management program.
The 3-Share Plan will provide small employers (those with at
least two but fewer than 50 employees) based in Galveston County
the opportunity to offer affordable, comprehensive health
benefits to their employees.
In order to qualify, employers must not have offered health
insurance, and employees must not have had such coverage, for 12
months prior to enrollment. The total cost of the health benefit
plan is expected to be $180 per month shared equally by the
employer, employee and UTMB with support from Houston Endowment.
Only employees and no family members will be covered in the
pilot phase of the plan.
Benefits provided under the plan will include primary and
specialty care, hospitalization, limited help with prescription
drugs, and mental health coverage.

informative presentation.
