I have my own indiv family policy, not through a local chamber or assoc.
1 very important thing is deciding your deductible. Me and my family have no health issues and we took a 500 deductible, 80/20 plan and we pay out almost $1k a month in health insurance ( we get to write it off the business though ) through Anthem.
After paying this for almost 2 years, I started shopping around at ehealthinsurance and other places and we could get a $300 a month plan if we took a $2500 deductible 80/20 package as well with Anthem or Humana One
Some say its as far as it is long, but you really need to look at your current health situation and the last 2 years of medical bills and see if you really go to the doctor a lot or not.
My kids dont have medical issues, but they get the routine amount of ear infections, colds, flu's, childhood problems and none of them meet their $500 deductible last year. I could have been better off on the $2500 deductible plan for $300 a month.
