Book Description

As the first and only source to cover the financial stability of the nation's health care system, Weiss Ratings' Guide to Health Insurers proves essential in an ever-changing environment full of multiple healthcare options. Grey House's Financial Ratings Series combines the strength of Weiss Ratings and TheStreet Ratings to offer the public a single, comprehensive source for financial strength ratings and financial planning tools. From health insurers to banks and credit unions to stocks and mutual funds, the Financial Ratings Series provides accurate, independent information that consumers need to make informed financial decisions. All of Weiss Ratings' Guides are published quarterly, utilize a clear-cut A-to-F rating system (similar to school grading systems), and contain more complete, up-to-date ratings than any of their competitors. These 2016 editions of Weiss Ratings' Guide to Health Insurers feature ratings and analyses of over 1,200 health insurers (including all Blue Cross/Blue Shield plans) and over 500 health maintenance organizations (HMOs). Many of these companies are not rated anywhere else. Weiss Ratings' Guide to Health Insurers is divided into eight sections, preceded by an Introduction and followed by a thorough Appendix. Weiss' complete letter-grade rubric is detailed on the inside front cover--an easily accessible reference for users researching companies in this guide.
