SALT LAKE CITY, April 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Society of Health Informatics Managers (ASHIM) (www.ashim.org) announced Mini-Med Health Plans for members and their families. This offering aids those ASHIM members struggling with current health care costs.

Members choosing to participate in the "Mini-Med Health Plan" have the option of customizing their coverage. Some of the benefits include:

• Limited Medical Plans
• Emergency Room Coverage
• Accident Coverage
• Dental Coverage

"These plans don't replace major medical coverage," says ASHIM senior vice president, Stephanie Cecchini.
