Motion Picture Industry Health Plan |
Eligibility |
Earned after six month qualifying period where at least 600 hours are worked. Participation is checked every six months and maintained by working at least
400 hours in the previous six month period. |
Premiums |
There is no premium cost to the member-participant.
For the member plus one dependent (spouse or child), there is a $25 per month premium.
For family coverage (member + 2 or more), there is a $50 per month premium.
Premiums are paid on a quarterly basis. |
Bank of Hours |
Funded by hours worked after participation in the next six-month period is reached. Capped at 450 hours. Used to maintain participation in the health plan if there aren’t enough hours worked when the plan checks for eligibility. If you have not worked 400 hours in the period but have hours available in your bank, those hours will be used to bring your total to 400 hours if possible. This helps ensure your continued coverage even if you have a few months off between projects. |
