What are the healthcare options for freelancers?

To start, most states have their own healthcare marketplace that’s accessible to anyone looking for healthcare. These platforms will take your information and calculate estimates based on your household size and income. Find your state’s marketplace here. 

However, navigating those sites can get hairy — let’s face it, the user interface could be better.

To make sense of everything, here are some of the most useful resources we found on the internet around finding healthcare options as a freelancer:

• Insurance Finder from our partners at Freelancers Union

• “The Ultimate Guide to Self-Employed Health Insurance for Freelancers” from Making a Living Writing

• “What Freelancers and Contract Workers Need to Know About Health Insurance” from Health.com

• “Mental Health for Creative Freelancers,” a resource guide from the Association of Illustrators

• “5 Tips for Managing Your Healthcare Costs as a Freelancer,” from Mediabistro

Lastly, our partner, Sesame, offers direct-to-patient care that’s meant to be accessible and affordable. Learn more about Sesame and redeem your 15% discount on healthcare visits by signing in or signing up for Wethos!
