Instruments
Clarion Associates, Inc., is the largest Insurance firm dedicated solely
to the needs of musicians—insuring dealers, recording studios, musicians' associations, museums, and collectors. Clarion has provided low-cost instrument insurance to CMA members for more than twenty years.
Health/Dental
The Entertainment Industry Group Insurance Trust (TEIGIT) administers health insurance plans for CMA members in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, the greater Chicago area, northern Indiana, and southern Florida. TEIGIT is currently investigating access to health insurance in states where members do not have access to group coverage.
Long-term Care
Clarion Associates also offers long-term care policies that help cover skilled, intermediate, or custodial care that acute-care hospitalization plans do not reimburse.
Limited Benefit Plans
The HealthFlex Limited Benefits Plan, provided by MBL Financial Group, has two components–a medical discount program to provide savings on Prescriptions, Dental, Vision, Chiropractic, Mental Health, and more, plus limited group accident and health indemnity insurance benefits for Daily Hospital Confinement, Doctor Visits, Inpatient and Outpatient Surgery, Intensive Care, Accident Medical/Dental Expense, Accidental Death & Dismemberment, and Accident Disability.
The HealthFlex Limited Benefits Plan is available in most states. Click here or log in to view the HealthFlex Limited Benefits Plan brochure, print an enrollment form, and see important insurance and discount disclosures (in the menu under "Members Only" and "Access Your Benefits & Services"). If you are not yet a CMA member,

Other Insurance and Prepaid Services
An office of MetLife Financial Services®, MBL Financial Group also offers CMA's New York State members access to disability income, variable permanent life, health- and long-term care insurances, as well as financial planning and pre-paid legal assistance.
Magazine and Newsletter
All members receive a subscription to CMA's full-color bimonthly magazine, Chamber Music. Organization and Business members (as well as libraries) receive CMA's professional development newsletter, CMA Matters.
E-newsletter
Every week, members receive Accent, an emailed newsletter with the latest information on CMA programs and benefits, as well as member profiles and tips on practical matters, such as professional opportunities.
Listserv: CMA Member News Flash
The CMA Member News Flash is a listserv--a way of quickly communicating with other colleagues in the chamber music field via email. Musicians and ensembles may post announcements about jobs, concerts, masterclasses, workshops, conferences, seminars, new CDs, and articles about chamber music. Organization-level presenter members are invited to post concert and other press release information. Business-level members may use the news flash to publicize their own businesses. Artist managers may publicize the activities of their CMA member ensembles.
NOTE: CMA News Flash is a moderated listserv. That means that your message is not sent immediately, but placed in a pending file for approval. A CMA moderator confirms that the messages are current and relate to the chamber music field. The message goes out within 1-2 business days.
Chamber Music America National Conference
CMA members receive a significant discount on registration fees, and more when they register early. For more information, visit CMA's Conference area.
Hotel Accommodations
Chamber Music America members receive a 20% discount at more than 5,000 Quality, Clarion, Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Sleep Inn, Mainstay Suites, Econo Lodge and Rodeway Inns worldwide.
