Our Values

At HealthMarkets, we are guided by our company values that we call our 3Cs.

Our 3Cs

  • Character: Doing the right thing by exhibiting sound judgment, effectively collaborating, and treating everyone we encounter with respect.
  • Commitment: Vowing to be driven, engaged, and dedicated to the best outcome for everyone involved.
  • Competence: Applying our adaptability, innovative solutions, and experience to make us the best at what we do.

IMPACT

The three Cs of character, commitment, and competence are great values, but they don’t mean much if they aren’t integrated into our daily routines. That’s why we’ve created an acronym to help us remember how to live the values. We call it IMPACT.

  • Inspire through Integrity – Doing the right thing, even when no one is looking.
  • Motivate through Mastery – Being the best at what we do.
  • Prosper through Passion – Going the extra mile and finding the best solution for every situation.
  • Adapt with Agility –Being able to adapt to changing consumer preferences, business priorities, and regulatory requirements.
  • Care for Customers – Providing great service, knowledgeable advice, and resources to our consumer, agents, and especially each other.
  • Triumph through Teamwork – Working together to accomplish more through collaboration, communication, and shared insight.

Our mission, vision, and values are a part of everything we do. They’re the foundation of our company and our culture. They encompass who we are, what we stand for and we will achieve them through our 3Cs and IMPACT.

Our values guide us as we rise to meet each day.
