Atlanta performers: Being without health insurance is a terrifying thing. Especially since most of you are living pretty hand to mouth as it is. As performers, your body is one of your most important tools and if you’re bankrupting it by denying yourself care when you need it, you’re only shortening the length of your career. And if you’re a very active performer, having health insurance is a godsend when you tear an ACL onstage or lose your voice.
It’s not that much money to get an individual membership to the Atlanta Coalition of Performing Arts. And they’re offering members low-cost insurance through Kaiser Permanente. I don’t know all the details, but I thought I’d post their notice here so if you are currently uninsured, you can see what your other options may be.
Atlanta Coalition of Performing Arts (ACPA) is extremely pleased to announce a new partnership with Kaiser Permanente to provide an affordable health care plan to eligible ACPA members. Access to health insurance has long been among the top items on the memberships’ wish list for ACPA services, and modest steps toward fulfilling that wish have been taken. Now, ACPA has been enabled to take a giant leap forward.
The Kaiser Permanente Bridge Program is uniquely designed to help those who are uninsured, income-eligible obtain health care coverage for a low monthly charge for up to 24 months. Eligible individuals pay a fraction of the premium cost and Kaiser Permanente subsidizes the rest. Coverage includes preventive services, hospitalization, comprehensive pharmacy and more.
ACPA still has plenty of slots open for eligible ACPA members to enroll in the Kaiser Permanente Bridge Program. Enrollment is by appointment at our office in downtown, Atlanta. For questions, or to set up an appointment to enroll in the Kaiser Permanente Bridge Program, please call Jessyca Holland at 404-588-9890 or email Jessyca@atlantaperforms.com.
