According to a NAMASTA Survey, 75% of US mind-body professionals have inadequate coverage. Premiums are too high and many practitioners are simply uninsured. NAMASTA members can now access a health insurance plan that takes into account their better health and their financial needs.
We asked insurance experts to design a special program for you. And we made sure the insurers we talked to were aware of the specifics of our field, with many independent contractors and better health than average. The result?
The insurers created the NAMASTA Elite Health Plan for NAMASTA members. It is a "specific benefit plan", meaning it is a plan that provides you with specific reimbursement for certain medical services.
Additionally, thanks to separate agreements with large networks, you get discounts to reduce charges.
The NAMASTA Elite Health Plan is designed to encourage preventive care, as well as provide defined reimbursement in the event of a serious injury or illness.
Once you are a NAMASTA member, you can choose to join in the buying power of a national network of 17 million people - while paying based on the health profile of a wellness professional like you.
Here is a summary provided by our insurance partners*. When you sign up for the plan, you get:
insurance rates at least 35% lower than what you would pay for a traditional major health insurance plan - thanks to network buying power. See the health plan rates here.
