Health and Supplemental Insurance

Authors Guild members can get help navigating state Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace exchanges and finding the right healthcare plan for them and their families, as well as purchasing dental, vision, critical care, and other supplemental insurance plans. Since 2020, this service has been provided by LIG Solutions and now Gallagher—one of the world’s largest insurance brokers—which acquired LIG in 2025.

Concierge Service to Help Find the Coverage Right for You

We know that many of you have difficulty identifying and securing affordable health insurance; freelance writers rarely qualify for group health insurance and are left on their own to navigate the insurance marketplace under the ACA. The Guild worked for years to find a viable answer to this problem, and while current laws prohibit us from offering a true association health plan for your primary medical care needs, by forging an alliance with other writing-related groups under the Book Industry Health Insurance Partnership (BIHIP) umbrella, we have been able to offer this joint remedy through LIG Solutions and Gallagher.

Supplemental Insurances

Gallagher also provides the following supplemental insurances:

• Dental
• Vision
• Critical care
• Prescription benefits
• And more
