About the Health Insurance Resource Center

Published since 1994, Healthinsurance.org is the Internet's oldest, most-trusted independent site offering consumer information on affordable health and medical coverage. We've worked hard to earn consumers' respect and loyalty. The information we present is intended for a general consumer audience. We are not staffed or qualified to give advice on individual situations or legal issues. We make efforts to keep information as accurate and current as possible, but as with all of life, please be a good consumer and use multiple sources of information.

Healthinsurance.org is not an insurance agency, and we do not sell insurance. However, as a service to our visitors, we provide health insurance quotes from carefully chosen partners who are in the business of selling health insurance, and who meet healthinsurance.org's stringent standards. Our site is compensated on a portion of these referrals, which contributes to the cost of publishing this site. Until such time that all Americans are guaranteed access to affordable and portable health insurance, we thank you for allowing us to pursue our educational and advocacy efforts by considering health coverage from those we partner with.

Pilot project -- in a few select ZIP codes, contact information may be collected and submitted to a local insurance agent offering products in your geographic area. In those cases, the information is given to one agent only and is not being provided to multiple companies. We will be following up with visitors using this process to determine its usefulness and whether to expand it or make it an option to those who prefer to deal face to face.

Editorial policy -- Healthinsurance.org maintains, since its inception, complete editorial freedom over the content on its pages. View expressed are those of the editors and writers at healthinsurance.org, and may not be shared by other sites we link to or partner with. Advocacy efforts on behalf of universal health insurance access are issue-specific, and should not be considered an endorsement of any particular elected official, political party or ideology.

Personal advice -- On our individual state pages, we have links to all the state departments of insurance. If you have questions about your individual situation, please consult your state department of insurance, a health insurance professional, or a legal professional depending on the nature of your inquiry. Again, we can not offer personal advice to individuals.

If you have any comments, suggestions or criticisms of this site, please contact us by using our contact form or via postal mail at healthinsurance.org LLC, 8009 34th Ave. South, Suite 360, Minneapolis, MN 55425. We welcome any and all comments or suggestions. And thanks in advance for contributing to the usefulness of this site for others.
