The Municipal Pool was developed by Ochs, Inc. in 1955 with one goal in mind - to give small- and medium-sized public employers the same insurance buying advantages as large employers. What started out as two municipal groups has now grown to over 300 employers with more than 40,000 eligible employees.
How does it work?By bringing together many municipalities to form one large group, employers are able to leverage their purchasing power. Within The Municipal Pool, members are able to achieve better rate stability, enhance benefits and receive improved communication materials.
Who is eligible?Public employers with less than 1,000 employees in the following areas:
- Cities and counties
- Schools and school districts
- Public hospitals and public utilities
- Public housing, parking, transit authorities
