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

You need to be lawfully present in the United States and reside in the plan service area to qualify for medical coverage and/or subsidies. These policies have exclusions, limitations, and terms under which the policy may be continued in force or discontinued.

This is a solicitation of insurance. A licensed agent/producer may contact you. Coverage, products, and features may not be available in all states, may vary by state, and will vary by policy. Rates may be higher due to tobacco use. Your rate and availability for this product will be subject to underwriting. Policies contain specific limitations, exclusions, termination provisions, and requirements for keeping them in force. Please see your policy or contact the insurance company for full details. Approval is based on your answers to the questions on the application and information obtained from other sources. All guarantees are based on the claims paying ability of the life insurance company.

When choosing a life product, make sure that life insurance needs are met long-term, especially if personal situations change — for example, marriage, birth of a child or job promotion. Weigh the costs of the policy, and understand that life insurance, and long-term care coverage linked to life insurance through riders, has fees and charges that vary with sex, health, age and tobacco use. Riders that customize a policy to fit individual needs typically carry an additional charge. The payment of long-term care rider benefits, as an acceleration of the death benefit, will reduce both the death benefit and cash surrender values of the life policy. Additionally, policy loans and withdrawals will also reduce both the cash value and the death benefit. Care should be taken to make sure that life insurance needs continue to be met even if the rider pays out in full, or after money is taken from the life policy. There is no guarantee that a rider will cover the entire cost for all of the insured’s long-term care, as this may vary with the needs of each insured.

This is not a Long-Term Care policy. This policy may not cover all of your medical or health care expenses. This policy should not be purchased as a substitute for major medical coverage, Medicare, Medicare Supplement, or Medicare related health plans. Premiums may increase upon renewal.

This policy may not cover all costs associated with short term recovery care incurred by you during the period of care. Increase in health care costs may reduce the value of this policy between the purchase date and the date you become eligible for benefits.

A premium is a monthly fee you pay to have medical insurance coverage. To decide your premium, insurance companies will consider: your age, where you live, whether you smoke or use tobacco and whether the coverage is for one person or a family. Premiums usually go up when the coverage is renewed to reflect your age and higher health care costs.
