One of the most difficult things to be is to be self-employed. It means that you have to deal with getting health insurance coverage all by yourself. With health insurance, you get to hear terms such as coinsurance, copayment and deductibles. These terms can take some getting used to.

You can modify your coverage to suit your needs and your pocket. Should you need more from your plan, you have the freedom to look for the best plan that suits your personal needs and circumstance, without worrying about getting stuck with a pre-selected plan.

Benefits of North Dakota Self-Employed Health Insurance

• Individuals that get self-employed insurance for themselves and their families are eligible for tax deductibility. This means they are able to deduct 100% of their premium.
• Considering you would be paying the premium and receiving the benefits, you are eligible for high deductible and low cost comprehensive plans like PPOs.
• Being self-employed also means that you can be eligible for a group plan. And being part of a group plan means that you can pay for insurance coverage using pre-tax dollars. This has the benefit of significantly reducing your contribution amount once the year ends.
• If you are a small business owner, you might be eligible for tax credit, which can help reduce the cost of your employees’ premiums.
