About Association Health Plans
Association health plans cater to small businesses and individuals who join together as a collective. Self-employed individuals such as writers, musicians, farmers, actors, and others in similar professions may have the opportunity to enroll in industry-specific association plans.
By leveraging the group’s purchasing power, these plans secure health coverage for all members, often resulting in substantial cost savings compared to buying insurance individually on the open market. While association health plans still function as a type of health insurance, they are subject to less stringent regulations and may not provide the same minimum benefits required by ACA plans.
