Flexible Health Insurance Services

Stride Provides a Multitude of Benefits for Freelancers

— May 15, 2018 — Special
Flexible health insurance is an essential need for remote workers, independent micro-businesses and freelancers. Stride is a free service that manages one's healthcare by submitting applications directly to insurance companies, protecting one's privacy and finding the best healthcare prices in America. Stride's flexible health insurance offers its users dental plans with free cleanings and regular checkups, vision plans with $120/ year for contacts or glasses, as well as accident protection, life insurance and tax coverage.

To bring about a better experience to its user and a more apt protection for independent workers in the gig economy, the flexible health insurance provider partners with "on-demand economy marketplaces, consumer finance platforms and large organizations" like UBER, Etsy, Postmates, TaskRabbit and more.
