How Do You Judge Your Insurer?

Not surprisingly, perceptions of insurance companies vary, according to recent surveys of employers and hospital executives. Most employers are happy as long as they’re getting the most competitive rates from their carrier. However, hospital executives based their rankings on such factors as image, reputation, and claims processing issues.
