Which Plan Costs Less?
You should pick the plan that offers the most benefits for the lowest costs.We help you run a cost/benefit analysis to help you figure out which coverage will be the best for you.

Try these tips:

Estimate your medical costs.
Make a list of the medical services you'll likely use in the next year. For example, how many primary doctor visits, specialist visits, and drug prescriptions will you need.

Check the premiums.
A premium is the amount you pay each month for the coverage. Different plans have different premiums.

Compare deductibles.
A deductible is a specific amount that you have to pay for health care services before your insurance plan begins to pay for them. See whether your plan or your spouse’s plan has a deductible.
Are Your Medical Providers Covered Under the Plan's Network?
Check whether your current doctors are in the plan's network. Plans provide directories of "in-network" doctors.You may still be able to go to an out-of-network doctor, but you will pay more for that doctor's services.

If you have questions or are confused about which company is best for you, book a meeting with an agent.The goal is to lower your potential cost as low as possible while still receiving great medical care when you need it.
