Webby Worthy Award (2005)

CLEVELAND – Medical Mutual of Ohio’s newly re-designed Health Plans for Life Web site has been recognized as Webby Worthy by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences’ Webby Awards, honoring excellence in Web design and creativity.

“We are very proud to be the only health insurance company in Ohio honored with this international recognition,” said Chris Hoffman, manager, Internet Communications for Medical Mutual. “Of the more than 4,000 Web-site entries submitted, fewer than 20% were deemed Webby Worthy. This honor signifies an outstanding caliber of work.”

The 9th Annual Webby Awards recognizes Web sites and site teams that demonstrate a standard of excellence.

One of the key people behind the Medical Mutual Health Plans for Life Web site is Todd Jones, senior Internet Communications specialist, “In developing our Web site, we're really not concerned as much with winning honors as we are in serving the needs of our customers,” said Jones. “But it is always very satisfying when others appreciate the work we are doing.”

A significant contribution to Medical Mutual's Web site was made by Antares Management Solutions, its technology subsidiary, which provided Web programming and design support.

Called the “Oscars of the Internet” by the New York Times, the Webby is the leading international award honoring excellence in Web design, creativity, usability and functionality. Established in 1996, the Webby Awards received entries from all 50 states and over 40 countries worldwide.

Founded in 1934, Medical Mutual is the oldest and largest health insurance company based in Ohio. The company serves its customers through high-quality, affordable group and personal health insurance plans, and third-party administrative services to self-insured group customers. Medical Mutual's annual premium and service-generated revenue in 2004 was $2 billion. Based in Cleveland, Medical Mutual also has offices in Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Dayton and Youngstown.
