HealthCompare, recognized nationally for its compassion for health insurance customers, aims to help consumers find the most effective policies for their money. Visitors to their site are encouraged to ask themselves a number of questions prior to shopping for medical coverage. They demonstrate caring for buyers by inspiring them to dig deep into their needs before accepting any quotes - no matter what service is used to obtain them.

The questions that HealthCompare encourages consumers to ask themselves are:

What are the clients' needs, medically? Do they require medication daily? Do they frequent the offices of their practitioners?

What premium is ideal for the client? Would a higher monthly premium be suitable for their needs or would they benefit from the lower monthly premium that comes with higher deductibles?

Does the consumer prefer to keep their current doctor? Or would changing physicians be an option if their policy dictated such?

Does the spouse or partner of the shopper have coverage available to them that would serve as an alternative plan?

HealthCompare encourages further questions even after quotes have been obtained. Questions such as:

Considering co-pays, premiums, deductibles, and out-of-network expenses, how beneficial is that particular policy to the consumer?

In terms of maximum out-of-pocket expense, what are the policy paramaters?

Are office visits part of the coverage laid out in the plan?

What is covered in the policy? Maternity? Yearly exams?

Is prescription drug coverage an option?

How much will the consumer pay for emergency services and ambulances?

Will the current primary physician and local hospitals be accepted under any of the policies being considered?
