BMI to Help Songwriters Navigate Healthcare Coverage Via New Service

BMI, a prominent organization supporting music creators, has introduced a complimentary service named BMI Health Connect. This initiative is designed to assist songwriters and composers in navigating the often daunting and expensive landscape of healthcare coverage. The partnership between BMI and Gallagher Alternative Health Solutions, an insurance brokerage, makes this service possible.

BMI Health Connect is a personalized, free service. It takes into account the unique needs of each individual songwriters and composers, helping them to choose the most suitable health coverage options, be it medical, vision, dental, or other types of insurance. The service also aids in understanding and comparing Affordable Care Act Exchange plans, private off-exchange plans, and Medicare. It further helps determine eligibility for cost-sharing subsidies and assists through the enrollment process.

According to BMI CEO Mike O’Neill, "Supporting our music creators is at the heart of everything we do at BMI." He emphasized the complexity of finding the right healthcare coverage, stating that BMI Health Connect was created to provide clarity to this often overwhelming process, allowing songwriters and composers to focus more on their craft.

The service is not an insurance product itself but connects individuals with a licensed, credentialed insurance expert from Gallagher. This expert provides personalized guidance, tailored to the specific scenarios of ACA, Medicare, and family coverage. Gallagher’s U.S. Benefits Business leader, Robby White, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the importance of having a real expert to navigate the often confusing world of healthcare on one's own.

BMI Health Connect is already operational and can be accessed via their website or by calling (833) 997-5805. The website also provides a comprehensive FAQ section to guide users through the process of getting started.
