Up until now, online research for health insurance coverage has brought frustration and uncertainty as health insurance websites promise access to health insurance quotes, but only after you’ve provided your personal information, many times including invasive health questions.

If you survive the page after page inquisition, many times the much anticipated Health Insurance Quote is a message that you’ll be contacted by several insurance agents.  Not what you thought you were giving your personal information for.

There are other websites that require reasonable information (birthdate, smoker status, zip code) and actually give you health insurance rates after you’ve provided the required info.  Unfortunately, the results are often overwhelming as you quickly realize that you have no idea how to compare the huge list of options that are listed from cheapest to most expensive.  Most people give up as uncertainty sets in that they might choose the wrong plan, since there’s no rhyme or reason to the laundry list of options.

For the first time in the history of online health insurance quotes, there’s a new way to shop and compare health plans that provides what every health insurance shopper wants- Instant Health Quotes.  The Washington Health Insurance Agency has created a simple one-page calculator that requires no personal information, no health questions, and organizes and compares similar health plans side-by-side.

http://www.wahealthagency.com provides an easy to use interactive calculator that automatically updates with instant rates from every major Health Insurance carrier in Washington State.  Simply change the age range using the easy to use drop down menu to match your age, and the quotes update automatically.  Want to compare plans with higher deductibles?

- one click to select a different deductible option, and the quotes instantly update.  Users can also view quotes for catastrophic coverage including comparisons of the best HSA health plans by simply marking ‘no’ on Maternity and Rx coverage.  

In addition to instant health rates, http://www.wahealthagency.com provides detailed plan benefits with a simple click of the mouse, and each plan is ranked with 1-3 stars that include “Agent Reviews” highlighting the positive and negative attributes of each policy, making the shopping experience much more informative than traditional online health insurance quoting websites.

For those who prefer to have an agent explain their coverage options, they can email or call the phone number provided next to the calculator 360-464-1622, and get expert advice on the best health insurance options to meet their needs.

http://www.wahealthagency.com also offers an easy way to apply for coverage, with direct links to each insurance company’s online application.  Simply click on the Health Insurance Company logo, and you’re ready to begin the application.  You can also call the Washington Health Insurance Agency and complete your application right over the phone with a licensed agent.
