Lake Forest, Ill., June 15, 2010 – The Trustmark Companies is excited to announce it will be offering its health insurance program to the AIA Trust beginning July 1. The health insurance program is brought to the AIA Trust by the Trustmark Companies and is underwritten and administered by Trustmark Life Insurance Company.
Ann Casso, Executive Director with the AIA Trust, says, “the new AIA Trust program with Trustmark Life Insurance Company, an A- rated insurance company, brings more value to AIA members in small firms (the vast majority of AIA membership) by offering access to reasonably priced group health insurance plans with flexible benefit options. Broad membership participation may improve plan experience and may ultimately result in lowered overall insurance costs for participating members.”
