There is no obligation to join after you apply for coverage.  For more information, here is a 30 minute presentation on the Health Insurance Consortium.

Please note, an “eligible employee” is an employee (both attorney and non-attorney employees) who works at least 17.5 house per week and who wants to receive health insurance coverage through the Consortium. Employers can also offer their employees family and dependent coverage.
