Health Insurance Exchange In Florida
A private health insurance exchange has been created in Florida by PeopleSurance. This private exchange takes the place of the federally run health insurance exchange after Florida opted out of creating a state run exchange.
Online, July 9, 2013 (Newswire.com) - PeopleSurance is pleased to announce the creation of a private health insurance exchange in the state of Florida. Florida is one of several states that will not be operating a state-run exchange. In December 2012, Governor Rick Scott announced that Florida would not be pursuing efforts to implement a state-based health insurance exchange. This leaves Florida residents with only the option to purchase health insurance through traditional formats or through the federal government.
"We believe that the citizens of Florida deserve the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of an automated exchange process without having to sacrifice the tradition of service in the health insurance industry." states PeopleSurance President, Brandon Beavers. "We believe that the spirit of free competition is alive and well in the state of Florida and we are excited that we can be a part of that spirit."
PeopleSurance employs a technology platform that allows users to secure quotes on-line from most major insurance providers in the state of Florida. Customers can apply on-line and conduct their research through the website's various resources. "What makes this experience different is that their will always be a live, knowledgable person one phone call or mouse click away that can help individuals when they want it," Brandon continues, "that is what will set private enterprise apart from the federal exchange."
PeopleSurance is making the Florida Health Insurance Exchange immediately available to all Florida residents. PeopleSurance continues to operate health insurance exchanges in other states and maintains offices in the state of Florida.
