What is the Health Insurance?
The health insurance is through Independence Blue Cross (aka Keystone Health Plan East). There are 3 plan options, the HMO Bronze, HMO Silver Proactive, and PPO Silver Secure.
The PPO is best for people who do not reside in the Philadelphia area, do not want referrals, or wish to see very specific medical providers.
For the "Proactive" plans, all the local Blue Cross providers are in-network, but they are divided into tiers with some providers charging more based on their tier. Tier 2 & 3 providers are more expensive than Tier 1 providers. This is especially important for high cost items like hospitalization & outpatient surgery.
For the HMO Bronze, there are no tiers. However, it is a catastrophic plan and will limit medical costs for a large procedure. Do not expect this plan to cover many "day to day" procedures (i.e. common medical procedures that are less than $2000-$5000).
