Here are some
quick tips on choosing the right insurance online..
These days, in addition to
selling insurance plans through
licensed agents many health insurance companies sell insurance plans
online,
directly to consumers,. Look for A.M. Best
financial strength
ratings on any health insurance company's website
you visit.
Work with a licensed health
insurance agent for a broad
selection of plans, and helpful advice or assistance. A
licensed agent
will typically sell plans from a variety of insurance companies and can
work
with the insurance company on your behalf to help resolve your billing
or
coverage concerns. You can feel comfortable working with a
licensed health
insurance agent since a licensed agent is overseen by both the
health insurance companies
they represent and by your
state's
Department of Insurance. Any
reputable agent should provide their state license number on their
website.
An insurance referral site
will request your personal
information including, name, address, phone number and medical
history.
Typically, they do not provide you an instant quote, but pass your
information
on to a licensed health insurance agent in your area, who will then
contact you
with a quote.
Compare the coverage levels
and benefits offered by
different health insurance companies and health insurance plans in your
area,
but don't waste your time comparing rates for the same plan from
multiple
sources. Your final rate is based on your personal
information and
medical history, and since health insurance rates are filed with and
regulated
by your state's Department of Insurance, your rate will be the same,
regardless
of whether you purchase your plan through an insurance company or
through an
agent. Insurance
companies cannot
undercut the rates offered by agents.
Just look at four of five plans that fit your
price range and compare
the benefits to decide the plan that works for you.
