Established in 1985, the Healthcare Cost Containment United Association, commonly known as HCCUA, is an American
not-for-profit association created with the goal of improving and protecting the physical and financial health of its members. Although HCCUA is not-for-profit, the brokers and brokerages who provide health insurance through HCCUA membership, such as iCan Benefit
, are typically for-profit. HCCUA provides members and their families with benefits, services, privileges, educational programs and information resources that are designed to contribute to their overall health, well-being and quality of life. Based in Boca Raton, Florida, USA, HCCUA has tens of thousands of members nationwide. The association’s current President is Dr Lynn Simek-Morgan.
HCCUA is focused on enabling members to plan and make well-informed decisions and cost effective choices regarding health and finances and providing them with access to the information, tools, products and services they need to do so. The type of health insurance available through HCCUA membership is readily available to those who are not members. An additional purpose of HCCUA is to educate members about the value of credit union
products and services, giving them access to such products from a wide variety of credit unions throughout the country.
The association encourages healthy lifestyles, preventative healthcare, and systematic savings through the use of credit union
products and services. HCCUA also works to promote and support the adoption of public policies, laws and regulations that foster more balanced and healthier lifestyles and provide broader access to affordable health-care services and health insurance
coverage.
