Health Insurance Shopping in 4 Steps (BenefitsPro)

Health care reform will eventually require private health plans to offer a user-friendly coverage summary. Until that happens, though, here are key points to keep in mind when choosing a plan:

2. Know your options. Understand the range of options available to you; enlist a broker if you need help.
