GigCare is a health benefits package designed specifically for gig workers, freelancers, and independent contractors (1099 workers). It aims to provide affordable healthcare options for those who typically don’t have access to traditional employer-sponsored insurance. The program offers a range of health plans, including options with co-pays and HSA-qualified plans. These plans cover various healthcare needs such as preventative care, mid-level care, and catastrophic emergency care, making it adaptable to different life stages.

Key features: 

  • Access to a national network, ensuring broad coverage, and competitive pricing.
  • Compliant with Affordable Care Act (ACA) regulations and governed by the Department of Labor. This makes it a suitable option for those who don’t qualify for ACA subsidies or group health insurance plans.
  • Flexibility and cost savings, particularly for individuals aged 45 and older, who may find the premiums lower compared to other individual health plans.

Please Note: GigCare is not intended for those who receive significant subsidies through the ACA.
