ALOT of Blue Shield plans do not cover occupational hazards. And the California courts have ruled (the brooke ashley case) that performers are NOT independant contractors.



That has nothing to do with anything and here's why:

How would someone be able to prove that any stds contracted by a performer were on the job? If a girl gets hpv, she can't prove that it's from a scene. To take this even further, suppose you contract HIV and the results and records match up to find the performer who gave it you. How would you be able to prove you caught it from that person during work OR on a date with him/her in your personal life?

I can sort of see how HIV is a more feasible search/match opportunity. herpes, hpv and others are not.




I think the poster that suggested there may be legal issues with individual health plans covering adult industry related STD/HIV makes a good point, especially if one did not disclose that information when signing up. If the underwriter knew the applicant was a sex worker, I suspect there's a good chance they would not approve the policy. It seems quite possible it would fall into a high risk occupation.

Also, it appears you are advocating felony insurance fraud in your response Gia by suggesting you would just manufacture a dating situation to obtain coverage if it became an issue. Insurance investigators are not dimwits.
