To meet the needs of an ever-increasing consumer demand for clear, simple and affordable health insurance options, the nation's leading COBRA administrator, CONEXIS (www.conexis.com), announced a partnership with HealthCompare (www.healthcompare.com). This partnership offers millions of Americans searching for health insurance and those eligible for COBRA continuation coverage through their employers a vast array of competitively priced alternative insurance options (see also CONEXIS).
CONEXIS, established in 1986 as the nation's first company to specialize in COBRA administration, is responding to the thousands of Americans who continue to lose employment each month and become eligible for COBRA benefits, but who simply can't afford the high cost of COBRA coverage. As a result, CONEXIS has partnered with HealthCompare.com to provide individuals and families with simple access to affordable alternatives.
HealthCompare.com presents easy-to-understand information from hundreds of insurance companies and thousands of benefit plan options - including PPO, HMO and indemnity plan options - so consumers can make the right decision for their needs.
'National unemployment is hovering at just under 10 percent,' stated Michael Close, president of CONEXIS, 'and COBRA insurance is not always an affordable choice for unemployed workers.'
'With many of our nation's population currently unemployed, it is crucial that our industry works to help the millions of people who are currently without proper health coverage,' said Kathy Feeny, senior vice president of HealthCompare. 'Our goal is to reach those that may not be able to afford COBRA and make them aware of the available cost-effective alternatives.'
