(PRWEB) June 12, 2012

HealthCompare, a nationally recognized health insurance comparison site, is releasing new tools in their attempt to help Americans who are in search of health insurance. HealthCompare, who consistently displays concern for consumers, asks visitors that come to their site to ask themselves a series of questions before attempting to find health insurance coverage. These questions are designed to help shoppers decipher what type of coverage is best for them in terms of cost and type of policy.

The questions that HealthCompare encourages consumers to ask themselves are:

What are the consumers current health care needs? Do they currently require medication? Does the consumer have a pre-existing condition? Or are they seeking to start a family in the near future?

Does the financial state of the shopper allow for a lower deductible, thusly giving them a higher monthly premium? Or would having a high deductible (and therefore lower monthly premium) be more beneficial?

Is the consumers physician a factor? If they prefer to continue seeing their doctor of choice, HealthCompare helps them decide what policies allow that.

Are there any other health insurance options for the shopper, such as spouse or parent plan?

Once consumers get their quotes, HealthCompare then helps them narrow their decisions by prompting them to ask further questions, like:

How much will the policies being compared cost them from their pocket when considering deductibles, co-insurance, and co-pays?

What will the policies being compared offer in terms of maximum out-of-pocket expense?

Will the consumers office visits be covered?

Do any of the policies up for comparison offer maternity?

Is prescription drug coverage an option?

How much will the consumer pay for emergency services and ambulances?

Will the current primary physician and local hospitals be accepted under any of the policies being considered?

HealthCompare knows how difficult health insurance can be and wants to help consumers make their decisions with the release of these infographics.

Infographics are unique graphics that are growing in popularity across the web are known for utilizing images and colors to help make complex data from scientific reports, demographics, and studies to make them more easily understood by the casual reader. Reports such as the ones used in scientific studies often use jargon and unnecessary language that makes deciphering results difficult for those without the background for these terms. Infographics compress and compile numbers and meanings into aesthetically pleasing arrangements that illustrate rather than tell. They can also functionally layout arguments for debates, complex concepts or any other topic that could otherwise be considered difficult to understand.

These new graphics explain hardships that can effect consumers when it comes to medical coverage. HealthCompare is nationally recognized for caring about patient knowledge and choice. They want consumers to understand as much as possible when it comes to making decisions regarding coverage that suits their needs.

The infographics released in this series are:

How Not To Get An Online Health Insurance Quote – Designed to educate consumers on the right way to get a health insurance quote that is effective

Instant Health Insurance Quotes Made Simple – Designed to explain how to get quotes the consumers can use

Why Instant Health Insurance Isnt A Good Idea – Designed to educate consumers on the dangers of settling for instant health insurance

The Most Effective Individual Health Quote Does This – Designed to illustrate the most effective ways consumers can get an individual quote

COBRA: Not The Only Option For The Unemployed – Designed to show shoppers how they can get health insurance if they are unemployed

Other infographics can be found here.

Health insurance costs are much more involved than mere premiums and buyers must carefully consider all out of pocket expenses to understand what their policies will ultimately cost them.

About Health Compare: HealthCompare was launched in 2009 to work with brokers and carriers to help individuals and families easily research, compare, buy, and enroll in the right health insurance plan at the right price. Based in Orange, Calif., it delivers accurate, customized, health insurance quotes for the country’s diverse population.

Through a unique partnership with its sister company, CONEXIS, HealthCompare has the ability to quickly reach thousands of COBRA-qualifying consumers and provide them with COBRA alternatives at the moment they become eligible for COBRA benefits. This provides these consumers with an opportunity to enroll in individual or family plans and potentially save hundreds to thousands of dollars on COBRA premiums and, at the same time, rewards referring brokers with referral fee income for the life of each policy.

Learn How GIS Technology Helps the Future of Health Care

Aurora, Colo. (PRWEB) June 13, 2012

Health care is big business. Plunkett Research estimates that total U.S. health care expenditures are projected to reach $ 3.6 trillion in 2016 and hospitals are spending billions to improve their operations. A recent report released by In-Stat predicts that the U.S. health care industry will spend more than $ 4.5 billion on wireless data by 2014 and another $ 10 billion to improve data. This includes geographic information systems (GIS) technology.

Join Jason Haley, GIS manager for the advanced health care data company Stratasan, and Dr. Devon A. Cancilla, dean, business and technology at American Sentinel University, as they explore how hospitals and the trillion-dollar health care industry are benefitting from GIS technology to improve the financial bottom line in a complimentary webinar, Mapping Health Care with GIS on Wednesday, June 20, 2012 at 1 p.m. EDT.

Haley, who has an extensive background in geospatial engineering, cartographic design, geodatabase management and GIS processing will detail how Stratasan receives, cleans, maps and analyzes disparate health care data sets from clients to create immediate intelligence and streamline communications.

Register for the webinar, Mapping Health Care with GIS at https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/676870656.

Haley will demonstrate how he turns a patients address into a latitude-longitude point on a map. He will then add different geographic layers into the map documents to show revenue, high revenue, inpatient, outpatient, a trade area that displays patient percentages of area and competitors.

Haley will also describe how to display the data, why some data is more important than others and how to make it easily understandable to customers.

Once equipped with this data, Haleys clients can coordinate advertising efforts and regional improvements.

Through the analysis of GIS data we can show clients not only patients and physicians, but also referring physicians, attending physicians and admitting physicians in the hospital, says Haley. This helps hospitals get a strategic plan in place for how they want to operate and move forward in the future.

GIS computerized tools used to collect, archive, manage, retrieve, analyze and output geographic and other related kinds of data offer great potential to be a powerful tool for geospatial strategies to improve the health care industrys bottom line as they look to improve their operational efficiency.

The GIS courses at American Sentinel teach geographic information systems tools for developing data-driven solutions that help health care organizations visualize, analyze, interpret and present complex geolocation data to solve problems and overcome business challenges relevant to the health care industry, says Dr. Cancilla.
