“The Collective offers the BCBSM network, and most providers in Michigan participate in this network. Our employees love the fact they can pick their own doctor and not worry whether their doctor is in the network or not. Many employees also like the network because they don’t have to get a referral to see a specific doctor for their care.”

Rob Moore

Vice President Human Resources, West Side Beer Distributing

“Michigan Beverage Collective offers numerous choices and options for our company to choose from. They provide education to both managers who work with the benefits and to the employees on their plans. I feel confident any plan MBC offers will protect our employees and their families from expensive premiums and out-of-pocket costs while not sacrificing care.”
