If you are a first time visitor to MyHealthInsuranceAdvisor.org you may need a way forward to easily accomplish your purpose with as little stress and time wasted as possible. The Pathway to Your Health Care described below will help you on your way. In fact, you will find that there is no one “Pathway”. It is actually composed of multiple paths that you can select to get what you want as quickly as possible.

When most people come to an informational website such as this, most find it helpful to know a little about how to find ones way around.   With many paths to take, with the optimal choice for you depends mostly on how you like to process information (ie. organize your thoughts and filter the information with what is important to you).  Indeed, we have crafted this website so you may start most anywhere and work your way around as you please as all paths lead you to what you need to know. The objective we have in mind is to provide a path you can take to an ever increasing level of knowledge and awareness so that you may get the most value and the most peace of mind out of your eventual Health Care Coverage. As a nonprofit with no sponsor and no ax to grind we seek to be factual and apolitical in all that we provide to you.

You will quickly see there is a lot of information on the site, but don't let that put you off.  Our intention is to offer a variety of ways to find what you are looking for to accommodate your interests and needs. As you begin, here are a few suggested paths you can follow:

Read an article or two from the Articles/Features window– developed by specifically by MyHIA.org to provide you with a solid grounding on all the main issues concerning health care coverage and Insurance. We suggest that you start with the three Cs Cost, Coverage and Control (Click Here ) of health care plans which will give you the foundation you may need. A second recommendation might be How Does Type of Plan Affect Quality of Care? (Click Here). You may wish to go on to read the remaining articles and by doing so you will probably end up with a better understanding of Health Care Plan concepts and terminology than many licensed agents! If you are short on time today, you can bookmark you place so you can jump in and out of our site and return where you left off. This may be the most direct way to bring you up to speed, if you are starting without much background.

Start with the Guardian Angel - and have a little fun as you ask a question. She will do her best to guide you to the answer and also suggest related questions that may be of interest to you. If you have a bit of time this can be good way to get warmed up.

Consumer Stories -many of us absorb more by learning from other people’s experiences or asking questions. All the stories presented have been selected, edited and approved by our staff to ensure that what you read will be interesting and informative.  Our staff has done the work to save you time.  This site also contains a Click Here to share your story feature that allows visitors to send us their health care related story.  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Select from the Type of Plans - from the menu on the Consumer section one or more of the specific plan types you want to learn more about, such as PPO, POS or HMO. Be aware that this information is not sufficient to guide you. That is until you have read some or all of the articles in the Articles/Features section, as taken out of context such plans are hard to evaluate in terms of your needs, wants and budget. If you like to start with specifics and work your way back, this may a good approach for you.

We realize that your arrival at MyHIA indicates you are looking to get the utmost quality and value out of the US system of health care. The fact is that health care, as the largest business in the US, is full of pitfalls and problems that may cause you a lot of concern. The basic question we all have in common is:

How do we acquire good, affordable and trustworthy health care for ourselves and our families?  Specifically, what steps can we take to protect our health, our assets and our families? On this point, does it really make sense to go to an Internet sales site and rely on an uninvolved commercial organization to assist you with such an important issue? This website to help you level the playing field so you may avoid becoming a victim of the system?

Start anywhere you like.  An abundance of facts, suggestions and ideas are assembled on this site which can help you in your quest.  Hopefully, with our help, you will be far better armed to make a good decision for you and your family.

Hopefully, with our help, you will be far better armed to do so. You can follow any of the pathways suggested above or return to the Consumer section main page and navigate on your own. The choice is yours!

You have our pledge at MyHIA.org to prepare you to win! Your point of view and understanding of health care will broaden and you will become much more aware as a consumer.
