Reader’s Question:

I have been assigned to research group health on-line. Our company has 20 employees operating in Oklahoma. Am I wasting my time?

Hi, Roxy!

Absolutely not! This can be a very, very worthwhile project. You will be amazed with how much information is on the internet. On-line presentations offer a wide variety of health insurance coverage and information. You also have the flexibility to tailor your plan to your company’s needs. The on-line sites are very current and sophisticated.

Select your city and state, check out the options and let the on-line insurance competitive marketplace go to work for your co-workers. Many diverse plans are available, especially if your company already has a group policy. You may also want to look into dental insurance and even eye coverage for providers in Oklahoma. There information is available on-line.

Talk with your company human resource director. Set your standards. Pay special attention to pre-existing condition coverage. Before moving ahead, you may want to arrange personal contact. This can easily be accomplished on-line.

Generally the more information you can provide the better your on-line research and selection will be. Know the total number of employees and the number of insured employees. Understand your budget and your current insurance. Compare deductibles on-line.

My guess is that you will do your homework and soon be wondering why this is the first time you purchased health insurance on-line. Happy hunting!
