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
