❌ Common Plan Comparison Mistakes
Only Comparing Premiums
A $20/month plan with high deductibles may cost more than a $60/month plan with low copays.
Not Checking Networks
Your favorite doctor may not be covered, forcing expensive out-of-network costs.
Ignoring Drug Formularies
Your medications might not be covered or could be on expensive tiers.
✅ Compare Total Annual Costs
Add premiums + deductibles + estimated copays for true cost comparison.
✅ Verify All Your Providers
Double-check that your doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies are in-network.
✅ Consider Future Needs
Choose plans that work well even if your health or medication needs change.
