How To Choose The Deductible
 

What Is Deductible? The payment that you MUST pay any medical provider for medical care before your Insurance begins to pay. It Resets every January 1* For Alternative Medical Providers you should:

​

                       1) Choose plans where "In Network Deductible Payments" Contribute to "Out Of Network Deductible" 

• Every Paid visit to Alternative AND Western Medicine will contribute to your deductible                   

2) Choose Lowest Deductible Offered. You Will Pay For Each Doctors Visit:

      $0 (Best for Alternative Medicine) or

      $600 (For Western and Alternative Medicine) or

      $1,500 -$6,500 (For Western Medical Providers only)

​

Remember YOUR Deductible RESETS January 1


Deductible: In Network vs Out Of Network

​

• Out of Network Coverage is Best for Alternative Medical Providers   

  • CIGNA is an Exception - In Network Benefits are very good

• Out Of Pocket Expense

  • No Choice for you. Set by Insurance Company.
