Brian Stevens: Hi, my name is Brian Stevens, I am a former Insurance Agent and Financial Consultant and I am going to show you where to get low cost health insurance in Illinois.
Many Illinois residents are fortunate enough to get adequate health insurance through their employers. However, if you're unemployed or your company doesn't offer health insurance, you can still get coverage.
If you left a job that offered health insurance or your employer dropped your health insurance benefits, look into COBRA coverage. COBRA offers you coverage under your former employer's health insurance plan for a few months at your own cost.
Check out Illinois Covered, the state health insurance program. This program helps with health care and insurance costs for children, low-income residents, uninsured adults, businesses, and middle-class families.
Look into group insurance from an organization. If you buy health insurance through an organization such as your college alumni group or a professional group, you may be able to qualify for a lower group rate.
You finally check out private health insurance plans. These offers the most choices, as many types of individual plans are available such as comprehensive coverage, major medical coverage, emergency coverage, short-term coverage, PPOs, HMOs, and POSs.
If you decide to buy an individual health insurance plan, an insurance comparison website is the best place to find a low cost policy. On these sites, you spend a few minutes completing an online form with information about yourself and your health insurance needs. Once you complete the form, you'll receive health insurance quotes from multiple A-rated insurance companies.
The best websites also let you talk with insurance professionals through an online chat service or by telephone. So you can ask questions and make sure you get the best health insurance plan for your needs.
The best way to get low cost Illinois health insurance is through comparison shop and easiest way to do that is to get quotes from an insurance comparison website. It's quick, it's easy and it's free.
