Q: I was thinking of enrolling with Lifewise of Arizona for health insurance. This company has been doing business in Arizona for only a year but I understand it is also doing business in Washington, Oregon and Alaska. Do you know anything about Lifewise?
A: Comments from OnlineAdviser users have been vaguely positive, and we have had no specific complaints about Lifewise. Lifewise was one of the first companies to offer health savings account qualified health plans in Washington state when most other HMOs and managed care companies resisted the concept. This is the primary reason the plan is included at FreedomBenefits.net. We generally do not support the concept of HMOs or managed health care but recognize that it is necessary especially for those with significant ongoing health expenses. HMOs and managed care companies do not use independent enrollment services like FreedomBenefits.net or OnlineAdviser, but rely instead on their internal employees to provide enrollment support.
