Health
Coverage for the Arts
The
Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council is proud to announce the
arrival of a health coverage plan for the arts. Eligible
members of the arts and cultural community include:
| |
•
|
independent
artists, |
| |
•
|
part-time
or seasonal employees of local cultural organizations,
|
| |
•
|
uncovered
spouses or dependants of currently covered employees
in those organizations, and |
| |
•
|
all
employees (full- and part-time) of small businesses
and organizations that currently do not offer any
coverage options. |
| |
This
is not a traditional health insurance program, but
a limited benefit medical plan that was designed
based on input from the arts community about desired
benefits and pricing. All eligible Arts Council
members qualify for the plan. You can't be turned
down for coverage, and there are no medical questions
to answer. |
|
| |
| |
The
HM Care Advantage plan, underwritten by HM Life
Insurance Company, starts at under $60 a month.
The plan offers three tiers of coverage that include
benefits for physician office visits, annual wellness
tests and screenings, ambulance and emergency room
coverage, and discounts for pharmacy, vision, fitness
and wellness products and services. Some plans also
include an additional critical illness component.
Coverage becomes effective on July 1, 2008. |
|
| |
| |
With
the introduction of this plan, the Arts Council
has taken an important first step towards making
health coverage available to everyone in the local
arts community who needs it. |
