One of the greatest uncertainty in life is falling sick or being disabled with no money in your pocket, especially if you are self employed. This uncertainty can be overcome by a health insurance which is a system in which the insurer, usually a private company or government owned company pays the medical expenses of the insured, if the insured falls sick or gets in an accident due to covered causes. In return the insured has to pay a monthly premium to the insurance company. Health insurance which provides insurance for the self employed is known as self employed health insurance.

Self-employed include farmers, contractors and small business owners, freelance writers, lawyers etc. There are some factors that separate self employed health insurance from ordinary health insurance.

Cost - Self-employed health insurance is costlier than health insurance provided through an employer (like a company). This is because in larger groups the cost of insurance gets distributed as compared to smaller groups. This is one of the reason people are reluctant to go for self employment. There are ways and means to reduce this cost which will be detailed subsequently.

Tax Benefit - Fortunately the self-employed health insurance premium is 100% tax deductible.

Reducing Costs - The best way to reduce insurance cost is to go for family cover in your spouse group insurance through his/her company (that is if your spouse is working). Another way is if you employ between 2 to 50 people, you can go for group insurance.

If you are leaving a corporate job you can opt for COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act). COBRA is a law that makes it mandatory for your employer to provide the option of retaining membership in their health insurance plan. However you will have to pay the entire monthly premium part which was paid by your company earlier. However you may be surprised at the high cost of the premium which may run up to 500$ a month.
