PHIP - Purchase of Health Insurance Program

This program provides life, health, dental and vision insurance for participating libraries. PHIP also provides an Employee Assistance Program and handles all COBRA requirements for participating libraries.

Who can join

Unfortunately for the medical insurance we are only able to accept libraries (public library, library system or library district within the state of Illinois) that are currently in another insurance pool. Libraries who are not part of another insurance pool can still obtain dental, vision and life insurance coverage.
