When I plug in a Philadelphia metro (PA) zipcode in some of the health insurance websites (to get individual health insurance), I get the following names:
Independence Blue Cross
Aetna
HealthAmericaOne
United HealthOne
Celtic
Are there any that you would specifically recommend, or you have a negative opinion of? Any info will help.

If you know any health insurance agent/agency for individual health insurance, please send a Direct Message.

Thanks.

For what it's worth, I have had Aetna ever since the days when it was US Healthcare. While they have never denied me anything, the co-pays and premiums have increased dramaticly in the last two years and for the 1st time I have caps on some benefits. I just found out that if I had gone with Blue Cross years ago I would be paying much less and would be getting more. It's too late for me to change because I am older now and have several pre-existing conditions ( in other words uninsurable) so I am stuck with Aetna until medicare kicks in. (and I guess they are stuck with me) You didn't mention your age and health and that makes a big difference and also what insurance you have now.

Early 40s, with kids. No known serious health conditions. I would be interested in a High Deductible plan (5000 deductible) with Health Savings Account - which is the type we have now.

I would also like to know if I need to have lived any number of months in PA before applying?

Thanks.

In that case my personal recomendation would be Blue Cross. They have a website (I guess they all do) that outlines what they offer.
