Anthem Chamber Program
As today’s small businesses are searching for cost-saving health coverage options, the Georgia Chamber of Commerce is addressing this need by offering a new solution that can lead to more rate stability and offers potential savings for groups with 2 to 50 eligible employees. In January of 2023 Anthem announced an expansion of this program to now include large employers with 51 to 99 employees.
The Georgia Chamber has teamed up with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem) to administer the Georgia Chamber SMART Plan (SMART).

In addition to financial protection, this innovative alternative offers:
- Competitive Rates
- Predictable, fixed monthly payments
- Flexibility in Choice of 17 different group medical benefit plans
- Anthem’s Broad Open Access POS Network and Essential Rx
- Specialty products, including dental, vision, life, optional life and disability plans, that are offered at discounted rates to employers participating in the Georgia Chamber SMART Plan.
