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.
