Plan the move off a firm's group plan
Losing job-based coverage can open a Special Enrollment Period with its own deadline. Compare deadlines and effective dates before your last day to reduce the risk of a coverage gap.
Health insurance for attorneys
Read the fine print on your own coverage, too.
Solo attorneys, partners and firm owners often buy coverage on their own while running a practice. A focused review helps you compare networks, total costs and options without guesswork.
What to review
Focus on the details that change the decision.
Account for income that changes
Marketplace savings are based on your estimated household income for the year. Partner distributions and uneven billing make that estimate worth reviewing carefully.
Ask about the self-employed deduction
Self-employed people may be able to deduct health insurance premiums. The IRS uses Form 7206 to figure the amount. Confirm your situation with your tax professional.
Know the options for your staff
Firms with employees can look at group coverage, a QSEHRA for small employers, or a CHOICE Arrangement (formerly an individual coverage HRA, or ICHRA).

Common questions
Know what to expect.
General education only. Exact options require an individual review.
Should I use a bar association plan?
If one is available to you, it is worth comparing. Put it side by side with other options on network, total yearly costs and rules.
Does a higher income mean I can't use the Marketplace?
No. People who meet Marketplace eligibility rules may enroll without an income ceiling, but financial assistance depends on expected household income and other factors. Higher-income households often compare plans on value and networks.
