Hiring a health insurance consultant can help you make informed decisions about your company’s medical insurance coverage.

Healthcare consulting is a relatively new field. It began as a way to give companies advice on health insurance while maintaining no ties to different insurance carriers. A health benefit consultant will analyze your company’s needs and give you advice on the lowest cost and best insurance plan available.

1. Find health insurance consultants that operate in your area. They should have a familiarity with the different insurance plans which offer coverage in your state.

2. Provide the medical insurance consultant information about your business and employees. Health benefit consultants will need demographic information about the employees to give you quotes on different benefits packages.

3. Hire the health insurance consulting firm to secure the medical insurance plan for your business and provide underwriting services.


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Locate health insurance consultants online


Since health benefits consulting is a new field, you may have difficulty finding a medical insurance consulting firm in your area. Combat this issue by working with a health insurance consultant online.

I recommend: You can use online healthcare insurance consulting tools on the site BuyerZone to help you find the best price and package for your company’s insurance plan. After filing out a short query form, the site will return medical insurance plans available in your area.

Submit a proposal form to a healthcare consulting firm


Once you find a health benefit consultant you wish to work with, you need to provide them with basic info about your company and employees. The medical insurance consultant will use the demographics to present you with a benefits package.

I recommend: Fill out the healthcare consultant proposal form on the Mass Marketing Insurance Consultants website. Give the company preferences regarding deductible, copays and optional benefits to get the most detailed proposal returned to you.

Allow the medical insurance consultant to implement the company's chosen policy


Health insurance consultants do more than just research different insurance policies. They'll also secure the policy for your company and communicate with your employees to let them know about the benefits program.

I recommend: Although Healthcare Benefits bases their firm out of Texas, they do extend their services to 20 other states in the United States. Hire the insurance consultants to secure your medical insurance plan, communicate it to employees and then assist with any claim problems your group may encounter.
