I was trying to find info on a health insurance company. I have been to bbb.org. It wasn't enough info for me.

I was trying to get an overview of the company and customer reviews on the company.

I thought a blog would help.

Any tips on this will be appreciated.

I can use tips possibly on future searches.

What insurance company would this be?

Assuming the company is in more than one state, general reviews may not tell you much.
Each insurer can vary a lot from state to state, in prices, coverage, and reviews.
Even within a state they can vary. When I choose a plan to add to Medicare each year, their coverage goes by zip. Not all of them cover the whole state, and I'm in a tiny state. (Medicare publishes a % for positive reviews for each one, which seem to run from about 80% to 85%)
You may also encounter huge changes year to year. Companies merge, are bought out, drop covered areas, and so on.
Finally, you need a lot of reviews to make them meaningful, because of the complicated and personal aspect of health insurance. It isn't like rating a coffee maker.

Start here

https://www.healthcare.gov/

Use your state, and zip, to compare plans and companies. You can then research those companies with Google, or request more info.
