Dear Visitor,
The Iowa Association of Health Underwriters represents thousands of licensed health insurance agents, brokers, consultants and benefit professionals across the state. IAHU members service the health insurance needs of large and small employers as well as people seeking individual health insurance coverage. Every day, IAHU members work to obtain insurance for clients who are struggling to balance their desire to purchase high-quality and comprehensive health coverage with the reality of rapidly escalating medical care costs. As such, one of IAHU’s primary goals is to do everything we can to promote access to affordable health insurance coverage.
IAHU members help thousands of consumers by guiding them through the complexities of health insurance purchasing and enrollment, while ensuring they get the best policy at the most affordable price. We seek to understand each personal situation to create recommendations that complement a client’s financial and medical security needs. Our licensed producers continue to assist and advise their clients with claims issues, service questions and compliance matters throughout the life of each policy that is written.
Our members have a unique understanding of consumer health care needs, the perspective of business owners and the economic realities of health insurance markets. We not only sell traditional health insurance products, but also coverage such as dental, disability, long term care, vision, cafeteria plans, Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage plans and a variety of consumer-driven products. Members agree to abide by NAHU’s Code of Ethics, which requires them to always make health care coverage recommendations with the customer’s best interest in mind.
IAHU in partnership with the National Association of Health Underwrites offers its members a multitude of educational opportunities, including advanced designation programs, continuing-education classes and online learning. IAHU provides its members with professional conferences, and networking functions, publications and business-development tools. We also conduct advocacy efforts at the state and federal levels of government to advance the interests of health insurance professionals and to promote affordable and responsible private health insurance market solutions.
If you are a licensed insurance professional we encourage you to consider becoming a member of IAHU today if you are not already. If you are a visitor, we thank you for taking time to visit us and appreciate your interest in our association. Insurance advisors have played and will continue to play an invaluable role in our nation’s privatized health care system. We will continue to find creative ways to keep premiums affordable while helping our clients retain the quality of care that they as Iowan’s and American’s expect.
Sincerely,
Andrew T. Morf
IAHU President
