Health Insurance for Attorneys

Many lawyers nowadays are self-employed, so health insurance is consequently often not part of their employment. As a result, the growing cost of staying well is another burden for attorneys.

The good news is that there are still some good options out there for you. Here are the ways you can still get health insurance:

Your Health Insurance Options as a Lawyer

  • Through the government marketplace via a special enrollment period due to a qualifying life event
  • Through a short term medical plan
  • Through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
  • Through a government-compliant medsharing plan.

Note that you can also purchase supplemental insurance such as dental, vision, critical illness, or accident policies at any time.

American Health Plans offers flexible and affordable options that can meet any of your needs as a lawyer. Whether you’re looking for personal coverage or firm coverage options, AHP has you covered.

Medsharing – The Best Insurance For Attorneys

These plans operate very similar to traditional health insurance except the premiums are put into an escrow account and claims are paid less than the Members Shared Responsibility Amount. Preventative care, doctor visits, prescription discounts, and more are all included in medhsaring plans.

Some of the benefits of Medsharing plans are:

  • They can be purchased year-round.
  • They are government compliant but not affiliated with the government at all, which means they exempt you from the tax penalty and it keeps the government out of your business.
  • Guaranteed Issue
  • PPO Network
  • Monthly premiums are much lower (usually about half the price of government ACA plans) because of the way they structure their plans
  • Your price is based on your age bracket, so you can have peace of mind that your health insurance premium will stay the same until you reach the next age bracket
  • Your monthly payments go towards helping other members as opposed to corporate higher-ups
  • When negotiating your bills they have leverage due to the cash they bring to the table as well as tax benefits from being a non-profit organization
