This workshop will focus on health care and health insurance options for performing and visual artists in the New York City metro area. The aim is to give participants a firm grounding in health insurance basics, a comprehensive overview of options in our area, and a better ability to make health care coverage-related decisions. We’ll review job-related options, direct-purchase plans, government-subsidized programs, and options for the uninsured, like Artist Access. There will be a Q&A period at the end of the workshop, and time for individual consultations.
Presenter Renata Marinaro is a social worker and Manager of Health Services Education and Outreach at the Health Insurance Resource Center (HIRC) of The Actors Fund. HIRC connects artists, craftspeople and entertainers to health insurance and affordable health care. The Actors Fund is a national, non-profit organization that provides for the social welfare of all entertainment professionals.
