Insurance Information
The Graphic Artists Guild offers members access to insurance plans administered by independent insurance agents. The Guild does not have access to specific details such as pricing and availability. We advise our members to direct insurance questions to the appropriate agents.
Please accumulate information from all plans that apply to your situation to ensure you receive access to the best plans.
Great News About Access to Health Insurance!
The Guild recently affiliated with the United States Federation of Small Business which means that Guild membership will now have access to group rates on health insurance plans in 28 states. (Health Insurance is governed on the state level, so there is currently no option available to us with access nationwide... but we'll keep working on adding states to the list!)

Artists Health Insurance Resource Center (AHIRC)

http://www.actorsfund.org/ahirc/
The Actors’ Fund of America and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) have established the Artists’ Health Resource Center (AHIRC) to assist the arts community nationwide in accessing information about health insurance options. Through a website and a toll-free hotline, the AHIRC provides artists with information about their health insurance options. The information on the website is organized on a state-by-state basis, because laws and health insurance coverage vary by state.
