Comparing health insurance quotes and policies

Choosing a health insurance policy is a balancing act. You'll need to consider the plan's coverage, cost, type of policy and company reputation before you make an informed decision.

Applying for health insurance quotes online is the fastest possible method of securing a policy, because it allows you to compare policy details in minutes, get fast online (or over-the-phone) advice, and even commit to your policy immediately for fast insurance underwriting!

The best way to go into the process is by educating yourself before you shop. That way you won't be adrift in a sea of unintelligible health care jargon, wasting time figuring out concepts that insurance companies never seem to explain.

But even if you're not sure exactly about what type of coverage you want or need, a good online quotes service can help you out.

Here's the inside scoop on two excellent and very diferent services :

More information on the application process

Online health insurance quotes may be instant, but completing the process can take a little longer. Here's what to expect:

Usually your application information will need to be verified by the health insurance company. Past medical records, a physical exam and/or blood tests may be used to obtain information about your health status.

Once your application is completed and verified, the health insurance company makes a final decision on whether or not to offer you a health insurance policy.

Once they accept your application you will receive the final price. Health insurance quotes are only estimates of the actual policy price, so this final number will either be a readjustment or a reaffirmation of your original online health insurance quote.
