Canada’s meeting place for freelance writers and creators

Established 2010

Membership in CMG Freelance gives you access to a non-profit extended health care benefits package. And there's a new webinar on the CMG Freelance website that explains the costs and benefits of the plan.

The Writers’ Coalition Program is an affordable health insurance program offered by the not-for-profit insurer AFBS. CMG Freelance members are guaranteed acceptance into the program, with no medical questionnaires necessary and no refusals based on pre-existing conditions.

There are two program options: Standard and Comprehensive. Both offer dental, prescription drug, extended health care, and travel emergency medical coverage. Both options also provide life and AD&D insurance and a Member and Family Assistance Program. There’s a monthly payment option available and premiums may be tax deductible.  

The Writers’ Coalition’s website will give you a price quote in just two steps and it enables you to enrol in the program and pay online by credit card.

For more information about the plan, you can watch this webinar on the CMG Freelance website. Details about the insurance package are available on this page on the CMG Freelance site and on the Writers’ Coalition Program’s website.
