Please contact MVI at (619) 260-2660 or citycare@mvi.net regarding the health insurance plan offered by City Care Benefits.

The BID Council surveyed 50,000 San Diego businesses and found that most lacked health insurance due to prohibitive costs. In response, the BID Council created City Care Benefits, a health insurance program that provides a full range of health, vision, dental, chiropractic, and acupuncture to San Diego's small business owners and their employees. The City Care Benefits plan is a collaboration between the City Care Benefits Board of Trustees and Pacificare. The BID Council is proud to be the first in the nation to create such a program that collectively bargains for all small businesses, bringing health care to people that otherwise may have been fiscally prohibited from these benefits. For more information, please contact MVI, the plan administrator, at 619-260-2660.
