That being said, you should look for a company that’s been around a while, with a proven ability to pay insurance claims (financially stable) and good customer service ratings.

Remember, it’s a lot more likely an insurer will pay your claim if they’re still in business…

Taking the above information into account; here are the “top 10 health insurance companies in the United States,” based on insurance premiums written in 2009, per III.

Top 10 Health Insurance Companies

1. UnitedHealth Group: $80.1 billion – Market share: 12.36%
2. WellPoint Inc. Group: $56.3 billion – Market share: 8.69%
3. Kaiser Foundation Group: $48.4 billion – Market share: 7.46%
4. Aetna Group: $28.1 billion – Market share: 4.33%
