Opolis Member Benefits Explained & How to Access Them

As an Opolis member, you’re not just managing your freelance or solopreneur career— you’re part of a community with access to benefits that rival traditional employment. 

Here’s a breakdown of the 2025 freelance health insurance options, dental and vision plans, and more, along with an updated guide on how to access these benefits.

Health Insurance Options for 2025

Opolis now exclusively offers health insurance plans for freelancers administered through Cigna, featuring access to Cigna’s largest National PPO Network. Members can choose from two categories of plans: Co-Pay Plans and High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs), with both Premium and Value options available.

  • Co-Pay Plans: Ideal for those who prefer predictable out-of-pocket costs.
    • Premium Co-Pay Plan: Starting at $859.44/month (Employee Only).
    • Value Co-Pay Plan: Starting at $420.69/month (Employee Only).
  • HDHPs: Designed for those looking to pair their health coverage with a Health Savings Account (HSA) for tax-free savings.
    • Premium HDHP: Starting at $590.29/month (Employee Only).
    • Value HDHP: Starting at $390.97/month (Employee Only).

Pro Tip: HDHPs are HSA-eligible, letting you save pre-tax dollars for eligible medical expenses like prescriptions and copays.

Maximize Savings with a Health Savings Account (HSA)

If you’re on an HDHP, you can open a Health Savings Account (HSA) to cover eligible healthcare expenses like eye care, dental, and prescriptions. You can contribute tax-free dollars, which can lower your taxable income and help pay for expenses without breaking the bank.

How to Access for Members:

  1. Log into your account to check your eligibility for an HSA.
  2. Set up automatic tax-free contributions from your payroll.
  3. Manage your HSA through the HealthEquity portal and use your funds for eligible expenses throughout the plan year.

Life, Disability, and Critical Illness Coverage

Disability coverage is often overlooked, but it’s crucial for individuals and families in the gig economy. Opolis offers disability insurance through Principal that pays a portion of your income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. You also have access to life insurance and critical illness coverage, ensuring financial protection for you and your family in tough times.

  • Life Insurance: Includes $50,000 in coverage, doubled for accidental death.
  • Disability Insurance:
    • Short-Term Disability: Replaces up to 60% of income for up to 12 weeks.
    • Long-Term Disability: Replaces up to 60% of income, up to $5,000/month, through Social Security Normal Retirement Age.

Critical illness plans also provide a cash lump sum for covered diagnoses like cancer, stroke, or heart attack.

How to Access for Members:
