Abstract

Librarians are uniquely poised to address the need for connecting individuals to health insurance information resources that are credible, as bias-free as possible, and written with literacy considerations in mind. This article explores health insurance outreach in libraries and presents a thorough list of vetted consumer resources on health insurance information. Each health insurance information resource is assessed, and connections are made to how the resources can be used in practice. This article aims to empower librarians to guide people to reliable health insurance information.
