More seniors search online as Medicare remains a central health care reform issue DENVER, Nov. 3
DENVER, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- NetQuote.com, the largest insurance shopping site on the Web, has added a new function that will streamline the Medicare health plan open enrollment process.
After experiencing a 200 percent spike during last year's Medicare open enrollment period in the number of seniors shopping for Medicare health plans online, NetQuote has made it easier than ever for seniors by adding a new function that will give them one-click access to the plans available in their regions. Medicare reported that 44,831,390 seniors enrolled in 2009 and that approximately one-third are enrolled in optional health, or advantage plans, with services delivered by private insurers. During open enrollment, which runs Nov. 15 to Dec. 31, seniors can change the way they access services available to them through Medicare health plans. The choices they make are influenced by several variables including, cost, copayments, extent of benefits, convenience, provider networks and prescription drug availability.
"As Medicare remains front and center in the national healthcare reform debate, seniors are demanding clarity as well as better service as they make their health care selections for 2010," said Tom Shriver, vice president of NetQuote. "The choices can be daunting, but NetQuote uses sophisticated technology that simplifies the task of shopping for all kinds of health insurance, including Medicare plans."
A wide variety of online advice is available, including www.medicare.gov, as well as the sites of every competing plan. With NetQuote, seniors save time by skipping hours of online research for plans that are regulated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Ultimately, they save money when they are connected with the right agent who has reviewed their profiles before suggesting the plan that best matches their needs.
Shopping for Medicare health plans on NetQuote is safe, secure and simple:
- Go to NetQuote.com
- Select Medicare open enrollment
- Enter personal information
- Let technology connect your profile to the best provider
- Discuss your questions with a personal agent before committing
