HINT: The Health Insurance Navigation Tool
Are you a musician? Do you need advice or information about health insurance? You're not alone. A 2001 FMC survey of 2,700 musicians revealed that the complicated process of obtaining health insurance overwhelmed many of them.
FMC has teamed up with Alex Maiolo and Chris Stephenson to create HINT – the Health Insurance Navigation Tool. The goal of this project is to provide informed, musician-friendly support and advice to curious musicians who need information about health insurance, for free.
There are two parts to this project: First, we have written a number of articles that give an overview of the options available for musicians. Second, we are offering a free telephone advice service where you can talk to an insurance expert about your situation to understand your options.
We see this project as a safety net for those musicians who remain uninsured because of lack of support or clear information. Those musicians who reach out for help will get it. With this small step we hope to bridge the gap between confusion and need.
HINT is made possible by a grant from the Nathan Cummings Foundation.
