NSCA’s Insurance Solution Helps Members Stabilize Healthcare Costs
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA, July 6, 2009 — Mitek Electronics and Communications Group recently switched insurance providers to join the industry-specific insurance solutions program, NSCA’s SystemsPlus™ Health Solutions, which has added more than 900 new lives to the program in just the last two weeks.

“We are pleased to be the first large manufacturer in the commercial audio/video industry that joins the SystemsPlus Insurance network,� said Loyd Ivey, CEO and president of Mitek Electronics and Communications Group. “I am confident this long-term investment is good not only for Mitek and its employees, but also is good for even the smallest contractors in the overall A/V industry. Our participation in the insurance offering will provide an option to offer their employees the benefits that typically only the largest of companies can afford, while supporting and promoting the ever-growing community of NSCA members. In short, it is just another way Mitek Electronics and Communications makes the world a better place.�

SystemsPlus Health Solutions is designed to help commercial electronic systems companies combat rising health insurance premiums. The program offers innovative alternatives, such as wellness initiatives and, most important, the ability to receive future credits toward insurance premiums.

“Large employers, such as Mitek, see the benefit that a nationwide program can provide them — easing administrative support, controlling costs and offering healthcare regardless of where the offices or employees may be located,� said Ron Fuhrman, SystemsPlus chief financial officer. “The whole idea of a program designed specific to this industry is to control costs, and with Mitek’s commitment to SystemsPlus, the entire industry will benefit.�

Participants in the program can:
o Access a leading national network of providers through CBA Blue.
o Stabilize health insurance costs.
o Earn “premium credits� based on program and individual company performance.
o Reduce paperwork.
o Streamline HR through one contact and one program for their entire company, no matter where employees live or work.

“Loyd, through all of his companies — Atlas Sound, IED, ETA Systems and now Mitek — has proven his commitment to NSCA,� said NSCA Executive Director, Chuck Wilson. “His loyalty to NSCA started when he signed on as the first exhibitor for the NSCA Systems Integration Expo and continues today as the first major manufacturer to commit to SystemsPlus Health Solutions since the program began earlier this year.�
