Now is the Time to Shop Healthcare with SCRS

by Jordan Hendler, WMABA Executive Director

I just got done attending the “all things collision industry” week in Denver, where in addition to the Collision Industry Conference, I attended the Society of Collision Repair Specialists’ Board and Affiliate Association meetings. 

I know that doesn’t sound earth-shattering, but it was! On top of understanding the national issues being addressed – advocacy on your behalf as repairers – we got to meet together with two dozen state associations from around the country. We discussed and debated many of the leading edge business disruptions, but one thing of urgency stood out: healthcare.

Healthcare Made for Us

Employees want to be relieved of the worry over their health. It’s also a great attractor of talent!  In the Affiliate meeting, we dove into the SCRS Decisely Healthcare and 401k benefits programs, accessible to the entire industry. Already, almost 2,000 industry members are on the plan, and it’s gearing up for many more. 

The SCRS group healthcare program is a partnership with Decisely, and the plan is Gravie. Either of those two names may sound unfamiliar, but the provider network is Aetna; a name we all know. It was specifically designed by our industry, for our industry.

In my own personal experience with the plan, it touts comparable rates with $0 out of pocket (OOP) for office visits, specialist visits, ER visits, generic drugs, and more. The copay – with a max OOP – comes in when you are doing things like hospital admissions, surgeries or more complex issues, but the most important is that the out of pocket is different than traditional health plans.

They put together a top tier offering, with great pricing, and great benefits. It sounds too good to be true, but it’s not! You owe it to your employees to at least do a plan comparison before the 4th quarter is here and renewals are happening. 

WMABA endorses and shares this benefit with our membership, because we see the value in teaming up with SCRS to make sure shops have affordable offerings for their most valuable asset: their team.

If you’ve never had a healthcare plan for your shop before, this is the best place to start – with people who know us!

The group 401(k) plan is also advertised on the SCRS website, and is a simple, easy application, too! Visit

Let’s show our people how much we are looking out for them and want them happy, by investing in these amazing benefit opportunities.
