DHHS Has New Insurance Finder Web Tool for Small Businesses, Others

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has a new web tool available for download that DHHS says simplifies searching for health coverage options and understanding the new benefits under the Affordable Care Act.

The Insurance Finder “widget” enables anyone with a website or blog to embed a tool on their site allowing users to begin the process of searching for coverage options. The tool asks users two initial questions: “select a state” and “which best describes you.” Users then click on “next steps,” and are redirected to a page that continues with the insurance finder process based on answers to their specific questions; a menu of potential coverage choices personalized for the user is then produced.
