Self-employed health insurance is a type of health insurance designed specifically for individuals who are self-employed. It provides coverage for medical expenses, including hospital stays, doctor visits, prescription drugs and other treatments. Self-employed health insurance plans can be tailored to fit the individual's needs and budget. They may include additional benefits such as dental or vision care that traditional employer-sponsored plans don't offer. Self-employed individuals have access to a variety of options when it comes to choosing their plan, from private insurers to government programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
