What to check before you enroll
Your doctors. Check that your doctors and hospitals take this exact plan, not just this carrier. Networks are set plan by plan and can change each year.
Your prescriptions. Check each prescription against this plan's drug list and its drug deductible, and confirm what your medicines would cost at the pharmacy you use.
Your pharmacy. Confirm your pharmacy is in the plan's network. A pharmacy outside the network can raise what you pay for the same prescription.
Does this plan cover your doctors and prescriptions?
The premium and the out-of-pocket maximum are only half the picture. Run the check against your own doctors, prescriptions, and pharmacy to see what this plan would really cost you. It takes a minute, and Eric follows up with what the check finds, at no cost to you.
