Access to Health Care from Demand Studios

We're pleased and excited to announce that Demand Studios will be offering access to health care to our creators. As you know, many of us on the staff have been freelancers and we realize how challenging it can be to get access to affordable health care.

This program starts on November 1st.  We will email full details and enrollment forms on Thursday, October 29.
   

Demand Studios has negotiated 3 different plans that should be about 2 to 3 times less than what you can get as an individual (for similar coverage).

We are offering access to health care coverage at a discount based on the power of our freelancing network. This is only for Writers, Copyeditors, and Filmmakers to start.  You must meet DS eligibility requirements to access these plans. 

Eligibility is as follows:

 o   Writers – must have written for the past 3 months at 30 articles a month

 o   Copyeditors – must have reviewed for the past 3 months at 200 articles a month
o   Filmmakers – must have produced for the past 3 months at 30 videos a month

For the November 1st kickoff we will go back 3 months from October 31st to determine initial eligibility.

Those who are already at these levels on November 1st will get emailed enrollment forms and are available to immediately enroll.

Ongoing, at the end of every month we will invite the new set of writers/CE/filmmakers that have qualified for these benefits.

Again - more info next week! Be sure to join the conversation in our Forum Thread or on our Facebook Page.

This is fantastic news! It's an added carrot for me to produce more articles sooner as well. Seems like this gig keeps getting better and better.

Wow...wow! Great news DS. Seriously, you are certainly separating yourself from the competition.
