By earning the permanent designation, Medical Mutual's Web site is recognized as one of the few to earn a World's Top Rated Ultraweb Award for the second consecutive year.
"The Medical Mutual Web site continues to stand as a model site for healthcare insurers and as a universal resource for Medical Mutual members and all persons seeking health-related information," said Ann Bevans of the Ultraweb Awards.
The judges stated that consistency is the key to being awarded the permanent designation.
"We have visited your site many times over the past two years, and we have never encountered error messages, down time, or any other technical problems," added Bevans.
The judging panel, consisting of top webmasters and graphic artists who work for major Web site development firms, determined MedMutual.com contains flawless and logical navigation, meaningful and thorough content and among the best spacing, balance and colors of all sites viewed since the inception of the Ultraweb Awards in 1999. Only 23 of 4,265 entries have earned this prestigious honor. Medical Mutual was the only health insurance company to receive the designation.
"We designed our Web site with our members, group customers, providers and brokers in mind," said Chris Hoffman, Medical Mutual's manager of Internet Communications. "The site not only needed to contain helpful information, but it also had to be presented in an attractive, user-friendly environment. We are very honored to receive this recognition."
Designing the Web site was the result of a partnership with Antares Management Solutions, Medical Mutual's subsidiary, which provided Web development support.
