Since only IDSA members know about this at the moment, I thought I would share one of those “What is IDSA doing for me” programs:
Access to health insurance: Through a partnership with Fractured
Atlas, a non-profit organization serving a national community of artists and arts organizations, IDSA members in 29 states (for now-that number is scheduled to increase over the next several months) can now obtain the health insurance coverage that may have proved elusive or difficult to find until now. (Members in all states can access the Arts Wellness Network, a network of 500,000+ health care providers with a focus on preventive care and alternative medicine, who make their services available to the arts community at discounted rates regardless of insurance coverage.) IDSA members can become associate members of Fractured Atlas for free, and have access to health insurance, liability insurance, press and publicity services, and other benefits. To enroll as a Fractured Atlas member, visit www.fracturedatlas.org/idsa.
Through a partnership with the Freelancers Union, IDSA members who are independent workers (individuals who work as freelancers, independent contractors or consultants, or who are self-employed, employed part-time, temporary workers, or work for multiple companies at the same
time) have access to group-rate health, dental, life and disability insurance. (Health insurance is currently available to members in 30
states.) Membership in the Freelancers Union is free to eligible IDSA members, and they also will waive the insurance application fee for IDSA members. Visit www.freelancersunion.org to join today.
Just thought I would share.
