Here is some information that most health insurance agents and companies will not tell you about the internet, "Not every site is what it seems."  For example, most people do not realize that filling out a quote might prompt 5 to 10 calls from insurance companies and agents.  It will probably result in an email box full of insurance fodder, and it could go on for months. 

The Down Side - Here is what typically happens when a person searches for health insurance over the internet.  They type in some key word into the search engine like dallas health insurance, dallas health quote, or some related term, then they get the results.  The advertising might draw them in (this is usually a company that bids on the right to show up on this page when you type in the specific words)  The companies that advertise get the most amount of visitors to their site.  The rest of us are sitting in Yahoo, Google, MSN and other search engines hoping that you will find us.  If you see us listed under the search results it is because we have slaved over our site to try to gain some sort of placement or we just got lucky that day.  When you decide on the one to click you are taken to a landing page.  This is the place on the web site that is designed to get you to fill out the quote.  Now this is where the circus begins.  If the site is not an agent site then your name will probably be sold to up to 10 agents.  This is why you might get calls from several agents. 

The Up Side - The internet provides a way for you to get instant information  and quotes from multiple companies all for an investment of 60 seconds.  If you go to an agents site that works with multimple companies than you can get the best overview of what is available in the market place with out getting 10 calls. 

Select
1. A local Texas Agent
2. An Agent that represents multiple health insurance companies.
3. An Agent that has the ability to let you run your own quote.
4. An Agent the specilizes in health insurance - not homeowners, liability,or automobile insurance
