Finally - A Real-World California Health Carrier Comparison

    CARMEL, CA, October 01, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- www.calhealth.net has provided an updated 2016 California health insurance carrier comparison based on real, day-to-day interaction and market conditions.

The comparison provides both a top-level view of the market with carriers according to market-share. It further separates the carriers by the dominant market segments: Individual/Family, Small Group, Large Group, and Senior. This approach takes into account the competitive differences found in each segment of the health insurance market from an insured's perspective.

The California carrier comparison looks at the critical areas that directly impact an insured's level of satisfaction: Pricing, Customer Service, Networks, Drug Lists, Online Services, and Claims.

This comparison comes at a critical time following the 2014 ACA law enactment. The carriers have changed significantly as they attempt to adjust to the considerable changes thrust upon the market. Many new Californians have entered the health insurance market as a result of new tax credits with little or no direct knowledge of the carriers.

Although the plan benefit levels are standardized now, the doctor networks, RX formulary lists, and customer service experience are anything but. This is the new wildcard when choosing a health plan (even through Covered California) and most shoppers have no idea until they actually go to use their plan.

Existing comparisons do not accurately reflect the realities of the market from a customer's vantage point. High level financial metrics don't help a person who is trying to get a prescription filled only to find out it's not on the new formulary list.

This carrier comparison aims to fix that. The goal is to provide consumers with an impartial, real-world comparison of the major California carriers by market segment. Lofty in purpose, practical in usage.
