HealthCompare is announcing the latest leg of their education strategy.
Orange, California (PRWEB) August 24, 2012
Consumers of health insurance get clarification of hardships related to health insurance via HealthCompare. They are a nationally recognized health insurance comparison site that specializes in education empowerment through compassion.
HealthCompare is announcing the latest leg of their education strategy. This stretch of their campaign is based in the publishing industry. Using the boom of the ereaders and ebooks, they will reach beyond the scope of typical health insurance consumers in an attempt to educate and guide readers through the difficult stages of life.
The ebooks they will be publishing will cover wide range of topics from new parenthood to divorce and self-employment to college survival. The ebooks will be released on a weekly basis beginning in mid-September.
Prior to embarking on this third stretch of their campaign. They created infographics to educate and empower consumers. Aware of the inherent difficulty of their industry, HealthCompare opted to use this online graphics tool to illustrate these health care hardships.
Inforgraphics take complex concept and distill it to its purest form by extracting the industry jargon and lingo. Then, they display the data with images and colorful layouts making them easy to understand.
Some of the infographics released by HealthCompare are:
Getting An Online Health Insurance Quote Made Easy - Designed to aid consumers in getting an effective medical policy quote
Instant Health Insurance Quotes May Not Be All They Seem - Illustrates the need for consumers to be wary when accepting insurance quotes
Beware Of Instant Health Insurance - Conveys how some offers of instant health insurance may or may not be legitimate
Get An Individual Health Quote The Right Way - Designed to educate consumers on the proper way to obtain effective health insurance quotes

In addition to releasing infographics and ebooks, HealthCompare set out on their empowerment journey by asking visitors to their website a series of questions that would allow them to fully understand their own insurance needs.
The questions posed were:
What are the consumers current health care needs? Do they currently require medication? Does the consumer have a pre-existing condition? Or are they seeking to start a family in the near future?
Does the financial state of the shopper allow for a lower deductible, thusly giving them a higher monthly premium? Or would having a high deductible (and therefore lower monthly premium) be more beneficial?
Is the consumer’s physician a factor? If they prefer to continue seeing their doctor of choice, HealthCompare helps them decide what policies allow that.
Are there any other health insurance options for the shopper, such as spouse or parent plan?
Once consumers get their quotes, HealthCompare then helps them narrow their decisions by prompting them to ask further questions, like:
How much will the policies being compared cost them from their pocket when considering deductibles, co-insurance, and co-pays?
What will the policies being compared offer in terms of maximum out-of-pocket expense?
Will the consumer’s office visits be covered?
Do any of the policies up for comparison offer maternity?
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?
Health insurance costs are much more involved than mere premiums and buyers must carefully consider all out of pocket expenses to understand what their policies will ultimately cost them.
HealthCompare set out in the beginning demonstrating their reputation for compassion and continue building on that base by releasing infographics and self-development books.
