Online shoppers for health insurance numbers are increasing steadily, and will probably continue this trend. And why not? We have the convenience of the internet to thank for this.
Here's the proof: GoHealthInsurance.com gets almost 5,000 visitors daily. Most of these visitors aren't looking for a health insurance blog (sniff), but they're looking to buy a health plan and/or want to get free health insurance quotes and compare rates.
Many people might wonder what these online insurance shoppers look like. The Health Blog at the Wall Street Journal writes that Norvax, Inc. recently did some research on this very question. They studied the demographic data of one said online health insurance shopper.
One interesting fact that emerged from the Norvax report was that more than 15 percent of the online shoppers were considered "uninsurable" by the insurance companies. To be considered one of these unlucky few, you would have to have a serious pre existing medical condition or have a BMI of more than 38. Underwriting is the name of the process that insurance companies use to determine if a person is uninsurable and also to set monthly premiums.
The report also found that a majority of those who shop online for health insurance are females between the ages of 20 and 49 years old. The Norvax report data came from just over 446,500 online shoppers from June to August of this year.
