LOS ANGELES—iWantEmpire is offering a discounted Free Speech Coalition membership to all artists on its platforms so that they may receive the NexGen benefits card available through the adult industry trade organization. iWantClips will also cover the total costs of the benefits card to 100 artists. In a partnership with FSC, the NexGen benefits card provides discounts on a variety of medical, dental, pharmacy, and vision benefits, as well as legal services and identity protection. Discounted benefit cards are available to all FSC platinum members.
To qualify for the compensated program, artists must post at least 15 clips per month on iWantClips.com consistently and earn less than $5,000 per month. An annual benefit card will be awarded to those who apply on a first come, first served basis. To learn more, visit iWantBlog.com or click here. To apply, email [email protected].
“From the very inception of iWantClips, healthcare and legal services are benefits we would love to be able to offer artists. When I learned of NexGen through our platinum membership with the Free Speech Coalition, I began using the benefits card personally to test its value. NexGen is a game changer and worth every penny that our FSC membership costs us,” said Jay Phillips, president and co-founder of iWantEmpire, which operates iWantClips and other similarly named sites. “Kudos to the Free Speech Coalition for putting their resources into finding and securing services every independent contractor will benefit from. I am proud to align the iWantEmpire with this initiative.”
The program is not medical insurance, but a supplemental plan that assists users by providing discounts on medical and related expenses that are not covered by regular insurance. NexGen cardholders will save between 10 and 85 percent on prescriptions, along with 10 to 60 percent on glasses, contacts and vision-related expenses, as well as 10 to 80 percent on lab testing plus more savings on dental and on other expenses.
Those enrolled will also have access to doctors 24/7 on Telehealth, along with highly-trained registered nurses who are on call 24/7 via NurseLine. They will also have access to experts who will help negotiate a reduction of out-of-pocket medical expenses via Medical Bill Save, as well as a direct line to health advocates who will provide assistance for health care and insurance questions.
The move comes after the Free Speech Coalition, a non-profit watchdog organization that seeks to protect the rights of adult industry workers and businesses, signed a deal with NexGen Plan to provide its members with two tiers of benefits such as medical, dental and legal services starting at $15 per month.
