Assurant Health Gives Residents of Washington State More Choices for Individual Medical Health Plans.


Leading provider of individual medical insurance now offering various plans; coverage includes HSAs with tax benefits

MILWAUKEE -- Today, residents of the state of Washington will be able to buy individual medical insurance from Assurant Health, which has been a leading national provider of individual medical, small group and specialty health insurance products for more than 115 years.

In addition to plans that offer comprehensive and catastrophic coverage, consumers can enroll in plans with HSAs, a consumer-managed, tax-favored alternative to traditional health insurance. HSAs can often save families with annual medical expenses of about $1,500 as much as $6,000 a year.

"We believe everyone benefits when consumers have more choices," said Scott Krienke, Senior Vice President, Product Lines, at Assurant Health. "In a state where residents have had relatively limited options for individual medical insurance, our various health plans give them more ways to get affordable coverage with the protection they need."

Assurant Health has nearly one million customers nationwide. It also offers Washington residents short-term health plans and other products.

Those interested in Assurant Health's individual medical plans or its other products and services should contact their independent agent, call 800-358-9931 or visit www.assuranthealth.com.
