Trusted Partnerships
& Proven Implmentation
At Union Plan 125, partnerships are not marketing claims — they are proof of operational credibility, compliance discipline, and real-world execution. Our solutions are designed to function within established payroll systems, regulatory frameworks, and
organizational environments trusted nationwide.
The partnerships below demonstrate how AffordaCare and The Champ Plan operate in practice: responsibly, at scale, and in alignment with the expectations of unions, employers, and institutional decision-makers.
Why ADP Matters
ADP (Automatic Data Processing, Inc.) is one of the most trusted and established payroll and human capital management (HCM) companies in the world. For decades, employers, unions, and institutions have relied on ADP to manage payroll processing, tax compliance, benefits administration, and workforce data with accuracy, security, and regulatory discipline.
ADP’s partnership with AffordaCare Insurance reflects a high standard of operational credibility. Solutions operating within the ADP ecosystem must align with rigorous requirements related to payroll integration, data security, and regulatory compliance — standards that are essential when implementing benefit strategies at scale.
AffordaCare and The Champ Plan are offered as distinct solutions, each designed to address different needs. AffordaCare operates within ADP’s trusted platform, while The Champ Plan, offered through Union Plan 125 as a premium supplemental health benefit, aligns with these same expectations for scalability, compliance, and administrative integrity.
For unions and employers, ADP’s involvement provides an added layer of confidence — signaling that these offerings are designed to function within established payroll systems and governance frameworks already trusted nationwide.
When benefit strategies intersect with payroll, compliance, and fiduciary responsibility, the systems behind them matter. ADP’s role reinforces the operational strength of these solutions.
Proven in the Field: AffordaCare & Alpine IQ
In August 2024, AffordaCare Insurance partnered with Alpine IQ (AIQ) to provide access to the CHAMP Healthcare Plan for eligible AIQ employees. This collaboration demonstrates how organizations are strengthening their benefit strategies by adding high-value supplemental healthcare without disrupting existing coverage.
Alpine IQ, a fast-growing technology company, implemented the CHAMP Plan as a complementary benefit—designed to enhance employee access to care, reduce out-of-pocket costs, and support overall workforce well-being. Importantly, the CHAMP Plan
was introduced as an add-on, not a replacement, reinforcing its role as a strategic supplement to AIQ’s primary health insurance offering. This partnership was driven by a shared objective: to provide employees with better access to care, more affordable healthcare options, and meaningful support, while enabling Alpine IQ to continue growing its workforce with confidence.
Through this implementation, eligible AIQ employees gained access to enhanced services including unlimited virtual primary care, virtual mental health support, $0 copays for primary and urgent care visits, expanded prescription coverage, telemedicine access, and wellness coaching. These services were designed to improve day-to-day healthcare access, reduce reliance on emergency services, and support proactive, preventative care.
The AffordaCare–Alpine IQ partnership provides tangible evidence of how the CHAMP Plan functions in real-world environments: as a scalable, supplemental healthcare solution that enhances employee satisfaction, supports organizational stability, and strengthens benefit offerings without interfering with existing health plans.
