Hey everyone,

I’m self-employed and exploring my health insurance options with Blue Cross. Trying to get a handle on the costs—anyone here with experience? How do the premiums and overall coverage stack up for freelancers or small business owners?

Thanks for shedding some light on this!

Hey! Blue Cross is a solid choice for health insurance, especially for freelancers and small business owners. Generally, the premiums can vary based on factors like your age, health, and the specific plan you choose. Blue Cross often offers a range of plans, from basic coverage to more comprehensive options, so you can find something that fits your needs and budget. The overall coverage usually includes essential health benefits, but it’s wise to carefully review the details of each plan, including deductibles, co-pays, and out-of-pocket maximums. Some plans might offer additional benefits or discounts for self-employed individuals. It’s a good idea to compare different plans and maybe consult with an insurance advisor to find the best option for your situation. Hope this helps!
