About Improve Healthcare

Our Mission

Improve Healthcare was founded with a simple mission: make health insurance easier to understand for everyday Americans. Navigating Medicare, marketplace plans, and insurance carriers shouldn't require a degree in healthcare policy — and we believe everyone deserves access to clear, unbiased information about their coverage options.

We built this resource because we saw a gap. Government sites are thorough but hard to navigate. Insurance company sites are biased toward their own products. And most "comparison" sites are just lead generation forms with no real content. We wanted to create something different — a comprehensive, data-driven directory that actually helps people make informed decisions.

What We Offer

Improve Healthcare is one of the most comprehensive health insurance directories in the United States, featuring:

• 8,300+ Medicare Plan Profiles — Detailed benefit information sourced directly from CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) public data, including plan types, maximum out-of-pocket costs, prescription drug coverage, and service areas.
• 17,800+ Insurance Agent Listings — A nationwide directory of licensed health insurance agents and agencies, with ratings, reviews, business hours, and contact information to help you find local help.
• 6,500+ City-Level Coverage Guides — Local health insurance guides for cities across all 50 states, with state-specific marketplace information and links to local agents.
• 1,400+ Insurance Carrier Profiles — Company information for health insurance carriers licensed in the United States, sourced from NAIC (National Association of Insurance Commissioners) public records.
• 375+ Educational Articles — In-depth guides covering Medicare, ACA marketplace plans, plan comparisons, enrollment periods, and health insurance fundamentals.

Our Data Sources

We believe in transparency about where our information comes from. The data on Improve Healthcare is sourced from authoritative public sources:

• CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) — Medicare Advantage plan directories, Plan Benefit Package (PBP) data, and Part D prescription drug plan information are sourced from official CMS bulk data files.
• NAIC (National Association of Insurance Commissioners) — Insurance carrier licensing data, company information, and state authorization records come from the NAIC public company search database.
• Google Business Profiles — Agent and agency listings are compiled from publicly available business directory information, including ratings, reviews, and contact details.

We update our data regularly to ensure accuracy, but health insurance plans and agent information can change. We encourage users to verify details directly with insurance carriers, agents, or government resources before making enrollment decisions.

Editorial Standards

All educational content on Improve Healthcare is written and reviewed with the goal of accuracy, clarity, and usefulness. Our editorial process includes:

• Research grounded in official CMS guidelines, state insurance department resources, and established healthcare publications
• Regular review and updates to reflect current enrollment periods, plan changes, and regulatory developments
• Clear distinction between factual information and general guidance
• No sponsored content or paid editorial placement — our articles are written to inform, not to sell specific plans or carriers

How We Make Money

Improve Healthcare is a free resource for consumers. We generate revenue through:

• Advertising — We display calls-to-action connecting users with licensed insurance agents who can provide personalized assistance.
• Sponsored Listings — Insurance agents and agencies can claim and enhance their directory listings for premium placement and additional features.

Our revenue model does not influence our editorial content. Plan data, carrier information, and educational articles are presented objectively regardless of any business relationships.
