For some reason people get confused when they are buying a health plan.
Maybe it is because it is an important aspect of our lives, or because it is typically written in a confusing language.
But people tend to forget that the same general principles come into play when buying a health plan, that come in when buying a pair of sneakers.
If you want a quality product, you need to buy from a quality company.
In order to make sure that this happens, you need to check the health insurance rating score of any company that you are considering purchasing a plan from.
An insurance rating score can be obtained from many different places like Fitch Ratings, Standard and Poor's Insurer Strength Rating, and A.
M.
Best.
All of these companies can give you an insurance rating score.
You can also use a search engine to look for your specific companies rating, or search for a site that lists the general ratings of many companies.
When you are comparing different scores you will notice that the system is a little bit unique.
A health insurance rating score will be between AA and CC.
The triple A score is for companies who are very financially secure and will have no problem paying off any claims that you might have.
While the double CC score means that a company is very insecure and might not have the money to pay a claim.
You might also see a rating of NR.
This means that a company has not been rated.
If you see a DD this means that a company is frequently late on payments, or can not pay entirely.
If you are buying a health plan, you should look for a company that has at least a BBB+.
A company with this rating or higher is typically a financially secure company that will be able to pay your claims.
If they have a lower score, you run some risk of dealing with an insecure company.
