Shopping for health insurance is easy:
1. Provide your birth date and gender information.
2. Compare plans and prices side-by-side.
3. Choose your plan and apply online.

There are three major things to consider, each with their own unique set of questions. By considering the questions thoroughly, you will arrive at the right plan for you and your family.
  1. How affordable is the care (cost of care)?
    • How much will it cost me on a monthly basis?
    • Should I try to insure just major medical expenses or most of my medical expenses?
    • Can I afford a policy that at least covers my children?
    • Are there deductibles I must pay before the insurance begins to help cover my costs?
    • After I have met the deductible, what part of my costs are paid by the plan?
    • If I use doctors outside a plan's network, how much more will I pay to get care?
    • How often do I visit the doctor and how much do I have to pay at each visit?

  2. Do the included services match my needs (access of care)?
    • What doctors, hospitals, and other medical providers are part of the plan?
    • Are there enough of the kinds of doctors I want to see?
    • Where will I go for care? Are these places near where I work or live?
    • Do I need to get permission before I see a medical specialist?
    • Are there any limits to how much I must pay in case of a major illness?
    • Is the prescription medication which I need covered by the plan?
    • Does the plan cover the expenses of delivering a baby?

  3. Have people had good results when covered by a specific plan (quality of care)?
    • How do independent government organizations rate the different plans?
    • What do my friends say about their experience with a specific plan?
    • What does my doctor say about their experience with a specific plan?
