The Working World Has Changed. Get Healthcare Coverage for Self-Employed.
Long gone are your grandfather’s days of cradle-to-grave employment, working for one company for 45 years before retiring with your pension and gold watch.
Today’s workforce is more independent. Entrepreneurial. We forge our own way by starting companies, contracting clients, and picking up gig work and other types of self-employment.
Though we’ve traded in the promise of the gold watch for the freedom of flexibility, the healthcare industry has been left behind — until now.
Clearwater Benefits offers affordable, high-quality healthcare that isn’t tied to a traditional employer.
What makes Clearwater so special? We provide revolutionary benefits for the workplace revolution. And we’re made for independent workers like you. Here are just some of the reasons that independent workers choose Clearwater Benefits for their healthcare coverage for self-employed and supplemental insurance.
Our Unique Care Coordination Service
Save time AND get your care for free
One of the biggest problems in the healthcare industry is that some providers will charge extraordinary amounts for healthcare, while others charge fair prices. No two healthcare providers are the same. And without a lot of time and access, it’s impossible for most people to know which provider will charge you a fair price.
That’s where our Care Coordination service comes in. This unique feature of Clearwater Benefits is a dedicated, white-glove team that does the work for you. We find high-quality, fair priced providers for the treatments and services that you need.
And if you choose the provider we recommend, you can get your care for free.
So if you need an X-ray or a blood test, a minor procedure or major surgery, Care Coordination will search our networks to find affordable, trustworthy options, and Clearwater will waive your fees.
Just like that.
Care Coordination is part of our mission to find you the best providers for your care needs, save you time and money, and help you thrive and focus on your health. Not healthcare bureaucracy.
The Right Plan at the Best Price
Independent work means freedom and flexibility. Shouldn’t that apply to your healthcare coverage too?
With Clearwater, you’re not stuck to one plan like you might be with a traditional employer. You can choose from many types of plans. We’ll help you decide which one fits your unique needs the best. And we’ll even let you know if your best option isn’t with us.
In general, we offer three types of coverage:
- Major Medical Insurance – Traditional insurance plans with innovative costs savings advantages, including low copays, low out-of-pocket expenses, and $0 deductibles on the majority of plans
- Healthshare Membership – A type of membership-based medical cost sharing plan, in which members pay into a communal fund that can be used to share in each others medical costs
- Supplemental Insurance Options – Vision care, dental, critical illness and accident coverage
That’s a key aspect of the Clearwater difference: We pride ourselves on guiding people to choosing the healthcare plan that makes the most sense for their needs.
Enroll on Your Time
Show of hands if you actually like having to wait until November for Open Enrollment to begin?
We didn’t think so.
One of the more frustrating aspects of the traditional healthcare experience is having to wait until November to be able to make any changes to your care plans, and then having to scramble under a tight deadline to make critical decisions about healthcare for your family. All during the busiest, most distracting time of the year.
It can be stressful, to say the least.
But with Clearwater, here’s some great news. You don’t have to wait for Open Enrollment before being able to sign up! With ClearShare, you can enroll at any time.
When you enroll in ClearShare, you can elect to have your coverage start as soon as the first day of the following month. With Major Medical, there’s a 60-day waiting period before your care plan kicks in.
