And yet, I found out today that my companies health insurance provider not only has an IE only claims site. It’s IE7 or better only.

Bunch of morons
(actually I have more appropriate descriptors, but this is a family site…)
</gripe>

Then this is your opportunity to tell them that they are excluding 33% of their clients from their claims site.

I’m sure the company’s managers would be very interested to hear that…

Actually I think it’s even higher than that. IE6 works partially but the claims forms section won’t load. IE6 is another ~17%. That means that ~50% are not served.

Difficult to submit claims is a convenient money saving shenanigan, like mail in rebates in retail.  You are promised one thing, but they make it very difficult to actually get your money.  Physician office are all too familiar with insurance companies delaying payment, “loosing” claims repeatedly, requesting additional documentation (over and over)...
IE7 or newer only sound like another obstructionist movement…

Or better? Well Safari is certainly better. Anyway, I am wondering if the forms section being browser specific violates equal access laws.

The side of the box said for use with Windows XP or better.

So I bought a Mac.

i’ve got the same problem, and i found the solution here to Cheapest Health Insurance, just for reference.
