Member Health Insurance and Dental Discounts
- We receive
many questions about health insurance, and dental
discounts, from members and non-members. Since ASA is a professional
association and not a union guild, we cannot (cost effectively) provide
insurance as a member benefit (in other words, by joining ASA you do not
get insurance for free).
Yet, we recognize many writers need health insurance or dental discounts for a variety of reasons (you are quitting your job to write full-time, your spouse is not covered, etc.)
Therefore, ASA has contacted several major insurance providers so that you can be provided information on individual health insurance through them. Additionally, we have arranged for dental discount plans through an affiliation with Dentalplans.com.
