(PRESS RELEASE) PORTLAND, OR – PECAA, a nationwide doctor alliance group currently serving over 3,700 independent eyecare practitioners, announced the launch of its new association health plan to its membership.
Member practices will leverage the buying power of the larger organization to purchase healthcare benefits for their practice doctors, staff and families at competitive rates, regardless of individual practice size.
