- Find out what the reputation of the doctors is in the plan 's network. Also, find out how easy it is to switch physicians.
- Research what is covered and what is not covered in the plan. Not all plans offer the same benefits. Check the small print to make sure you are covered for what you need.
- Ask the provider who you will be reimbursed for services. Will they work with the medical care facilities directly, or will you have to pay for services up front?
- Review independent rating agencies and consumer ratings. The financial stability of your insurer is important. Independent agencies produce rating tables that allow you to easily compare different companies. Also, review consumer opinion articles.
