Texas Bar Private Insurance Exchange Adds 'Decent' Plans, Giving Independent Attorneys Access to Affordable Health Insurance
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Member Benefits, administrator of the Texas Bar Private Insurance Exchange, has partnered with Decent to provide more affordable health coverage options to independent lawyers. The program launched plans exclusively for the Austin area in September 2019, and will soon be available in other areas of the state.
The Texas Bar Private Insurance Exchange is an independent health insurance marketplace designed for State Bar of Texas members, their staff and dependents. Decent health plans will be offered through the exchange at a discounted rate.
"Independent lawyers face challenges similar to other self-employed professionals when it comes to health insurance — many options are either expensive or lacking in quality. A partnership like this helps to support a growing, independent legal community," said Nick Trefry, Member Benefits COO.
Decent's plans feature year-round enrollment, unlimited free primary care with a family medicine doctor, and premiums up to 50 percent below market rate for comparable plans. Unlike short-term health insurance, Decent health plans are all compliant with the federal health law (Affordable Care Act).
"This is healthcare coverage that people want and need," said Nick Soman, CEO of Decent.
The State Bar of Texas has more than 95,000 members, many of whom are considered self-employed or sole proprietors.
