Resources for Consumers
If you are an individual consumer looking to purchase health insurance, have questions about any state or federal consumer protections under your current health insurance policy, or would like information about public health care programs, The Georgetown University Health Policy Institute produces a Consumer’s Guide to Getting and Keeping Health Insurance in Georgia, which is available for download at http://healthinsuranceinfo.net.
If you have recently lost your job and are looking for health insurance, you can learn about your options in this resource guide from Families USA.
If you would like to file a complaint against a health insurer or agent, please contact the Consumer Services Division of the Office of the Insurance Commissioner of Georgia, which can accept consumer complaints.
GeorgiaHealthInfo.gov provides online tools and resources to help Georgia consumers make educated health care decisions.
Georgia Watch, a consumer watchdog group in Georgia, maintains a comprehensive listing of consumer resources in Georgia.
Families USA, a national consumer health care organization, provides information and materials for health care consumers and consumer advocates.
Consumer Reports provides a range of information and ratings to help consumers make informed health care decisions.
Do you have a personal story about your experience with health insurance, access, affordability, or quality in Georgia that you would like to share? Policymakers, advocates, and the media are often interested in hearing about the experiences and hardships of Georgia residents. Georgians for a Healthy Future collects personal stories from health care consumers. We will only pass along your story with your permission.
