I would add that you look into HSF (Hospital Saturday Fund) as well. Great premiums and coverage and 1 week turn around time time for reimbursement. I suppose it depends on your health problems and needs. I liked that HSF reimburses for the things my family uses---eye, dental, complimentary treatments.
