Finding Quality Health Insurance in Illinois
Illinois is considered a fairly healthy state (ranked near the 50% mark) and finding quality coverage in the state isn't difficult given its many providers. Some of the countries best providers reside in the Chicagoland area and serve the state well.
Like other states trying to help with quality coverage, Illinois requires certain standards for health insurance, including diabetes care and mammography screening (contact the Illinois Department of Insurance for more information); and it participates in an insurance pool which helps those who can afford coverage, but can't get underwritten in the private market because of a pre-existing condition (call 866-851-2751 in-state for more information).
Having worked in Illinois for nearly a decade, I know you can find quality health insurance quite easily. Illinois' top insurers let you decide what coverage is best for you, so it's best to thoroughly research your options both online and by talking directly to agents to compare quotes and features. Whether you need coverage for your entire family or you individually -- part of a group or working for yourself -- there are many options.
There are many more, but some of Illinois' quality providers include:
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois 300 East Randolph Street Chicago, IL 60601-5099 312-653-6000 * Castle Group Health Inc. 899 Skokie Blvd., Suite 5366 Northbrook, IL 60062 Toll Free 877-559-8100 * Celtic Insurance Company 233 South Wacker Drive, Suite 700 Chicago, Illinois 60606 (Celtic was established in 1978 and focuses on insurance for individuals and families with many economical plans that offer quality, dependability and customer service that uses innovative technology to automate workflow.)
Again, what's quality and right for you will vary by your specific needs, so do your research and you'll surely find the coverage you desire.
