HealthInsurance Alabama

Posted by Valerie on May 9, 2007

Yesterday Governor Riley & Dr. Don Williamson, state public health officer, announced the creation of  healthinsurance.alabama.gov, a web site designed to educate Alabama citizens on health insurance - how to get it and/or how to provide it. As such, there are sections aimed at employers and at individuals.

The web site is a product of theAlabama Black Belt Action Commission (BBAC) Committee on Health - Medicaid/Uninsured Subcommittee and the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH), includes a listing of all Alabama Health Plans, with phone numbers and links to company web sites. I found the Choosing a Health Plan Checklist to be really handy - along with the glossary. [I never seem to remember what some of those terms mean!]
