HAAM Musician Benefits
HAAM provides access to affordable healthcare for Austin’s low-income, working musicians, with a focus on prevention and wellness. This means:
Helping you access affordable health coverage, no matter your situation
Guiding you through the healthcare system toward both primary and specialty care
Offering you special HAAM Core Program benefits
Remember - HAAM is not insurance! HAAM helps musicians access insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace (a.k.a. Healthcare.gov or “Obamacare”) and offers help paying for that coverage through the HAAM Premium Assistance Program. HAAM Programs can vary year to year and the extent of benefits available to HAAM members ranges and is dependent on a variety of factors including income, county of residence, and age.
These benefits include:
ALL members have access to dental, vision, hearing, wellness, and healthcare navigation services
Members may also have access to premium assistance programs to help lower the cost of monthly insurance premiums
