I recently had the pleasure of having to get a health insurance quote for myself. It may be hard to tell through reading that sentence, but I say ‘pleasure’ with a great deal of sarcasm. I never thought that it would be so difficult to get a health insurance quote, but I can attest to the fact that it was an extremely arduous process. The first step I did was to call an insurance company, and ask what information and documentation they would need to give me a health insurance quote. Their answer was pretty strait forward, and I was then armed with a simple list of things I needed to get a health insurance quote.
My next step was to take the list of things I needed for a health insurance quote to my doctor. Most of the items on the list had to provided by a doctor. After my doctor provided me with everything on my list, I thought I was ready to go get a health insurance quote. As I was still in the phase of getting quotes, I brought this information to several different providers. My biggest mistake was that I assumed most companies would have the same requirements. While I was able to get one health insurance quote, every other company I approached had a slightly different list of requirements. It required me to slowly accumulate a master list of requirements for a health insurance quote, and see my doctor (among other errands) yet again. After a few weeks of information gathering, I was able to get a health insurance quote from several different companies and choose the best package for myself. Although it turned out that I went with the first company, and all of the extra errands turned out to be unwarranted!
