HealthPocket, Inc. publishes survey research and provides a service to compare health insurance plans in the United States. The company was founded in 2012.[1] The company's website, HealthPocket.com, provides price comparisons[2] and ranks health insurance plans available in different marketplaces.[3]
HealthPocket also publishes health insurance resources that are used in industry analysis, such as statistics[4], surveys[5], and research[6] which are regularly included as sources in independent scholarly articles published in academic journals and law reviews.[7][8][9][10][11] Data from HealthPocket has also been included in health policy research by independent institutes[12], book chapters[13][14][15], independent studies[16][17], industry analysis[18][19][20], and PhD dissertations.[21][22]
In 2016, the independent think tank, RAND Corporation, featured HealthPocket's role in consumer healthcare decisionmaking in their research report, "Consumer Decisionmaking in the Health Care Marketplace"[23].
A statistical analysis published by Health Pocket was cited on the official White House website on August 8, 2018.[24]
