My wife and I retired early last year (when I was 55). We know that healthcare costs are going to be the biggest financial expense that we will incur (at least until we are eligible for Medicare).
We are financially comfortable, but we are not wealthy; consequently, we can't afford to have concierge medical care. As such, we believe that we are stuck with the likes of Blue Shield, Anthem, etc. We have been using Blue Shield's PPO health insurance last year and this year. We have been quite displeased with the coverage.
For instance, we are not happy with the quality and knowledge of the personnel that we deal with on the phone; the quality and accuracy of information that we get on the website (i.e. inaccurate list of doctors on the plan, inaccurate pricing for drug costs, unexpected expenses for non-covered procedures).
We can't afford concierge service, we are dissatisfied with traditional coverage. Is there anything in between?
Thanks for any suggestions.
