Terms of Use

We will post a revised version of these Terms on the Sites and the revised Terms will be effective immediately thereafter. Your submission of an inquiry and/or other use of the Sites following the posting of any such change, modification or amendment to these Terms will constitute your acceptance of the amendments. When we post changes to these Terms, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of these Terms. You should periodically review the “last updated” date at the top of these Terms so that you can familiarize yourself with any changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time to take notice of any changes we made, as they are binding on you.

2. Consent and Privacy.

By clicking on any button indicating an acceptance or agreement to terms, a continuance of processing, a request for information or by making any other submission (“submission”), you understand that you are agreeing to the stated terms and conditions of that submission and that you are submitting an inquiry, as to Medicare plans or another products or services, through this Site and Healthinsurance.org to insurance agents and companies and other third parties who are customers of our Site, such as marketing partners (each, a “Provider”), to whom your inquiry is transmitted.

You are not required to provide your consent to be contacted in order to purchase or receive goods or services, however.

You represent that all of the information you have provided in your submission is true and complete. By submitting information on Medicare plans request form or similar form on our Site, you authorize us to provide such information to Providers in order to help you complete your inquiry (including providing you with information about other products or services in which you have expressed an interest).

3. Our Services.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT WE ARE NOT A GOVERNMENT AGENCY OR AN INSURANCE COMPANY, NOR DO WE OFFER MEDICARE OR HEALTH INSURANCE SALES. Healthinsurance.org is an operating subsidiary of Independence Holding Company, which owns insurance marketing, technology, and agency subsidiaries dedicated to delivering insurance solutions to groups and individuals.

Healthinsurance.org is not a licensed insurance agency. Unless specifically disclosed, we operate independently and not for the benefit of any producer, licensed agency, or carrier. This Site is built to offer a guide to the basics of Medicare coverage options, enrollment and eligibility, including a blog that provides analysis of the policy developments that are likely to affect Medicare coverage. Furthermore, the Site acts as a venue to allow Providers to offer Medicare products to consumers (each, a “Prospect”; all Prospects and Providers are referred to together as the Site’s “users”) who have visited one of our Sites or affiliated sites and given their information to be contacted by companies offering Medicare products. We do not offer any products or services described on our Sites, nor do we engage in other consumer financial transactions.

We are not involved in the transaction between any Prospect and any Provider even though we may, through our Site or other affiliate sites, and with each Prospect’s authorization, collect certain information about any Prospect (a “Lead”) and sell such Lead to a Provider. Consequently, Healthinsurance.org is not responsible for any service-related issues you may experience or inquire about, such as problems receiving a quote for Medicare plans, coverage questions, or problems managing payments. Any service issue is solely the responsibility of each user. We are an independent contractor for all purposes.

We are not responsible in any way for the conduct of any Prospect or Provider. We do not endorse or recommend any Providers, or companies offered by any Provider. We do not guarantee that any of the Providers to whom we forward any Prospect’s information will contact such Prospect or agree to provide the Prospect with any form of help. The Providers that can connect you with Medicare or conditional offers may not respond with quotes or offers until they obtain additional information from you. Although Healthinsurance.org is compensated by Providers when we display advertisements for their products or services to you and/or when fill out and submit a form, we do not make any decisions in connection with the offers that may be offered to you. Any compensation from Providers is payment for our services, tools and facilities.

Your use of the Site and/or the Service constitutes your agreement with this compensation arrangement. The Site and the products, services and opportunities provided or advertised on and through the Site may not be available in all states, and the availability of such services, products and opportunities offered on and through our Sites may change from time to time without notice. Healthinsurance.org does not guarantee any form of insurance or specific terms or conditions with any Provider.

To help the government fight identity theft, the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, and to help attempt to verify your identity, Providers may obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who filled out a form. For example, they may ask for your name, Social Security Number or driver’s license number, address, date of birth, and other important information, that will allow proper identification of you. During the Provider application process, the Provider may also ask for additional information.
