Choice Administrators is emphasizing that it is continuing to market a health coverage buying organization for small and midsize employers.
The Pacific Business Group on Health, San Francisco, announced Friday that it is discontinuing the Pacific Health Advantage small business benefits purchasing program, even though the program serves 6,200 small businesses and 116,000 plan members, because health insurers have been bailing out of the program.
The PBGH took control of the program, originally known as the Health Insurance Plan of California, from a state government agency in 1998.
