US Modelling Agency, Elite Model Management become the first agency in history to offer all models signed with them comprehensive health care access and coverage.

Elite Model Management announced the news on the 12th of November, making history and setting an example for modelling agencies everywhere.

Most models work as freelancers which means they miss out on benefits such as health insurance and have to find health coverage in other ways or wing it and hope for the best.

About the launch of Insurance For Models, Elite USA C.F.O. Sergio Leccese commented, “Modeling is one of the most exciting, yet unpredictable careers possible. We’ve always made it our mission to prepare our models for that unpredictability and protect them so they can flourish at the highest level. Insurance For Models is a natural extension of that core philosophy. We wanted to give our roster of models unparalleled peace of mind. This way, if they face a natural accident or interruption customary for any other profession, they know they’re taken care of—even if they’re on the other side of the world.”

For a low cost, Elite models will have access to  medical, dental, personal accident, private third-party liability, travel and flight inconvenience, and will cover stays ordered for medical reasons.
