Being informed is the only way you can tell the difference between good health insurance policies and great ones.  Make sure you know the answers to the following questions before you select a health plan for your family.

• Is the insurance company financially stable?  Check the insurer 's financial ratings.  These are determined by independent agencies, including A.M. Best and Standard & Poors.
• Who provide s your health care?  Your relationship with your physician is very important.  Research the list of doctors in your area that are covered under your policy. As a rule of thumb your doctor is more likely to be covered by a PPO than an HMO, because the provider network is larger and more flexible.
• How easy is it to change physicians?  Are there multiple doctors ' offices that you can choose? Are you willing to go through the process of transferring your medical records and choosing a new doctor with whom you feel comfortable being treated?
• How seriously does the provider take customer service?  All providers will tell you the customer is the most important thing to them, but do their independent customer satisfaction ratings match up to this statement?  Check them out before you buy.
