More states will become eligible in the coming months! However, in order to provide health care for AVMA members across the country, we need support from federal and state lawmakers. If you live in a state without access to health insurance coverage through the AVMA Trust—or if you want to support the effort to bring AVMA-sponsored health insurance to our colleagues in other states—visit avma.org/AHP.
The AVMA LIFE program may be able to offer alternative solutions if your practice does not meet all eligibility requirements. Contact us to learn more, register for email alerts and visit this site regularly for updates as they become available.
Note: If you terminate with the AHP, you must wait three years before re-enrolling.
The AVMA Trust AHP allows small businesses to band together based on common geography and industry, thus strengthening their negotiating power with insurance carriers, reducing administrative costs through economies of scale and allowing them to purchase the types of coverage typically only available to large employers.
We believe that providing affordable health insurance to AVMA members will allow you to better attract and retain top talent.
The AHP will also ease the administrative burden on your staff. With the day-to-day management of the plan off your shoulders, you will be able to focus on the core aspects of your organization, including growing your business and serving your customers’ needs.
Most importantly, the AHP provides AVMA members and their families with more health care options—not to mention access to affordable health care.

“We found out about the AVMA Trust AHP plan just days prior to re-enrolling in our existing plan. The AVMA Trust professionals jumped through many hoops to shepherd us through the enrollment process to meet the deadline. There were many evening calls and emails that were answered promptly by the AVMA Trust.
After enrollment, we had an employee waiting in line for COVID-19 testing, only to realize he did not have his health insurance ID. The AVMA Trust came through quickly to send a copy to his phone just in time. They are always there to provide support whenever we need them!”
Cindy Porter, Conway Veterinary Hospital
“We received emails from the AVMA Trust to set up a Benefits Portal so we could access our medical insurance online. It was very easy to get started — the website was great. Thank you so much for all your support in getting Premier Pet set up with insurance.
You saved us hours of trying to do it alone. Thanks again for all your help!”
Lisa Vergason, Premier Pet Hospital
“Nathalie has gone above and beyond to work diligently with us to put together the best health coverage for my team. she has welcomed my many questions along the way, while always responding promptly and thoroughly. I look forward to partnering with the AVMA Trust as her customer service was superb! Thank you, Nathalie!”
Jessica Slade, DVM
“We would like to recognize the AVMA Trust as a great organization to have medical insurance benefits through. We have been with them for two years and have had a great experience with customer service especially with our rep, Nathalie Aranda. Anytime I email her with a question she is very responsive in getting us an answer quickly to questions and requests. The enrollment process is quick and easy to understand each year and we enjoy benefits plans that have things like the rabies vaccine that our industry members need and are usually very expensive to get individually.
We appreciate being with a benefits company that understands the needs of the veterinary industry and one who provides incentives that keep our employees mindful of their health. We plan to enjoy a long relationship with the AVMA Trust.”
Heidi Rogge, Tiger Tails Animal Hospital
“I just wanted to send a quick note in to comment on the recent experience I had with HUB Customer Service on the AVMA AHP — I called in with a client who is in the AHP to make sure she was able to add an employee. I figured I’d have to do a lot of translating and assisting to get everything straight. In reality I didn’t need to be on the call at all. We spoke with Nathalie and she was VERY helpful, very knowledgeable, and just very friendly. It was a nice experience and the client was very appreciative of it as well. It gave me a better measure of trust in the service on the AHP.”
