Resources for Other Coverage Options
Group Coverage
Many companies offer group plans to self-employed individuals. You'll usually be asked to prove that you've reported self-employment income to the IRS for the current year. Contact a local insurance agent for details. Even if you're not self-employed, some business organizations or local associations you belong to may offer limited health insurance products. Be sure to explore your options and read the fine print; you may want to call the Office of Insurance Commissioner (1-800-562-6900) before purchasing group coverage.
