Missouri Employers to Get Early Glimpse of Insurance Marketplace
Missouri is one of five states this year to get an early look at the federal health insurance marketplace for small
businesses. Missouri businesses with fewer than 50 full-time workers will be able to access the Small Business Health
Options Program, or SHOP, in late October, ahead of the start of open enrollment on Nov. 15. Employers, agents and
brokers will be able to complete eligibility applications, upload an employee roster, and view plans and pricing once they
become available.
This online access will give small employers another option to best find coverage to suit their employees’ needs.
President Barack Obama’s administration had delayed SHOP’s scheduled implementation in states with federally
facilitated exchanges last year to prioritize fixes to HealthCare.gov. The SHOP exchange, created by the Affordable Care
Act, is designed to allow employers to compare competing plans. The company could then offer its employees a choice
from among several policies.
The law also allows businesses with fewer than 25 employees to potentially qualify for a tax credit worth up to 50 percent
of the cost of their insurance plan’s premium purchased through the SHOP exchange. Companies with fewer than 50 fulltime workers are not required to provide coverage for their workers.
Missouri was chosen for the early access period along with Delaware, Illinois, Ohio and New Jersey after the department
analyzed the state insurance markets, the availability of employee choice and the presence of a reliable ground operation
to engage stakeholders according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
BCMS Students Selected for Be the
Change Award
Sania Palmer and Saul Villar-Medina were selected for the
Bernard Campbell Middle School Be the Change Award.
To receive this recognition, the students demonstrated high
standards of behavior and have been involved with school in
a positive way.
The criteria used for the award includes demonstrating
exemplary behavior in the classroom and hallways,
displaying a positive attitude in the classroom and hallways,
displaying a positive attitude toward teachers and other
students, and exhibiting great character at BCMS. The two
students also received a token of thanks from the school’s
business partner, Summit Bank of Kansas City.

Sponsorship Opportunities Available for Shop On Event
Mark your calendars and get ready for the second
annual Shop On event, a showcase of locally owned
and operated businesses from Lee’s Summit, Blue
Springs, Grain Valley, Independence and Oak Grove.
They will be displaying all of the new products and
merchandise to be offered during the 2014 holiday
season.
The event takes place from 6-8 p.m. on November 18,
at the Hilton Garden Inn in Independence. More than
40 locally-owned businesses will feature the latest and
greatest wares for shoppers wanting to get an early
start on their Christmas shopping before Black Friday.
Shop owners and sponsoring organizations are
enticing shoppers with free giveaways, pre-holiday
discounts on merchandise, food, drinks and more.
Last year, more than 400 attendees took advantage of
the good weather, great deals and scrumptious food
to get a leg up on their shopping in a fun and festive
atmosphere.
Shop On is open to the public and is being sponsored
by local chambers and economic development
organizations in eastern Jackson County in an effort
to support and strengthen our local retail businesses.
For more information on participating in this event
and available sponsorship opportunities, contact Mark
Dickey at 816-524-2424 or mdickey@lschamber.com.
Oktoberfest Committee Co-Chair Honored By Allstate
Jeff Silver, a Lee’s Summit insurance agent and Oktoberfest Committee co-chair, recently
received an award from Allstate for his volunteerism, which resulted in a $1,000 grant to
Hope House. Silver was given the “Agency Hands in the Community Award” and the Allstate
Foundation made the grant. Silver said he helps Hope House by volunteering to help with
various fundraisers such as races, or serving as a ticket taker at Starlight Theater. “I fill in here
and there when they need the extra help,” Silver said.
Opening of a Third Primary Care Clinic Expands Access to Saint Luke’s East
Respected Blue Springs and Grain Valley-area family
physicians Elizabeth Dexter-Manade, M.D., Gregg Klosener,
D.O., D.P.M., and Alan Scharrer, M.D., have joined Saint
Luke’s Medical Group and launched a new practice in
late September. The new primary care office, Saint Luke’s
Medical Group–Lee’s Summit North Medical Pavilion, will
be conveniently located on the Saint Luke’s East Hospital
campus at I-470 and Douglas Street.
The practice will provide comprehensive health care for
patients of all ages. Services include preventive and acute
care, routine checkups, immunizations, patient education,
and more.
“We are looking forward to being a part of Saint Luke’s
growing services in Eastern Jackson County and providing
residents increased access to primary care services,” said
Dr. Scharrer. “With our move to Saint Luke’s, we are pleased
our patients will have access to Saint Luke’s evidencebased, patient-centered health care.”
Since the hospital opened in 2006, it has continually grown
to meet the health care needs of the community. Saint
Luke’s also opened an additional primary care office in
Independence in July.
“We have seen an increase in the number of patients
throughout Jackson County and beyond choosing Saint
Luke’s for their health care needs,” said Ron Baker, Saint
Luke’s East Hospital CEO. “With the opening of the new
primary care office in Independence, and now a second
office on our campus, residents will have even greater
access to Saint Luke’s high quality health care services.”
Appointments are now available, and patients may call
816-347-4600 to schedule. Saint Luke’s Medical Group–
Lee’s Summit North Medical Pavilion will be located at 110
NE Saint Luke’s Blvd., Suite 245, Lee’s Summit, MO 64086.

Little-Known Interviewing Techniques to Find the Best Candidate
October 7 | 3:30–4:30 p.m. | John Knox Village, Manhattan Rm
Presenters: Jef Nance, CFE, Columbo Hiring
Hiring is a little like getting married-after just one date!
Even the ‘wrong’ person for the job may be able to
carry themselves well in the interview, only to fall short
quickly after being hired. As a police interrogator,
Jef Nance developed techniques not just for finding
deception in what others say, but for finding the truth.
Jef has refined these techniques for you to use in any
conversation in a completely non-confrontational style.
Small business owners know their craft well. But
when it comes to interviewing prospective employees,
they’re suddenly forced into a craft that few know how
to do well. Learn how to close this frustrating gap and
find the best candidate the first time.
