Music Health Alliance Names Advisory Board

a2cb23d6bb29bbd81f77a623_144x86Music Health Alliance, a non-profit and advocate for the 76 percent of music industry professionals that have no access to group benefits, has named an advisory board of industry leaders to help musicians, songwriters and professionals understand their healthcare options and direct them to insurance plans and other resources that meet their needs and fit their budget. Founded by Tatum Hauck Allsep,  MHA’s free services protect, direct and connect music professionals with simplified and personalized healthcare solutions, and create a seamless flow through a fragmented health system. The Alliance provides clients with an informative alternative to the crisis often caused by lack of insurance coverage and stacks of medical bills.

In the last year MHA has secured over $1.6 million in financial aid, $350,000 in medical bill reductions, over $50,000 in insurance premium savings, and currently sees an average of 25 clients per week. MHA is located in Nashville but serves clients nationally.

“MHA’s staff consists of music industry veterans who are now licensed, certified and trained in health insurance, patient navigation, senior care,” says Allsep. “We all stay informed each day with the most current and factual updates regarding the Affordable Care Act.  We truly understand the challenges facing our industry because we are part of this industry. Now our expertise provides a music friendly network of nationwide healthcare access and resources. We are in this to win this, because it is the right thing to do. It is said that ‘music heals’ and MHA is here to ‘heal the music.'”
