What to look when choosing a health insurance?

When the insurance tells you that you are allowed to see doctors outside the network

This is not really true. In many cases, the provider will accept whatever your insurance pay. But if this is not the case, you may be totally responsible for the bill.

Your Primary Care Provider affiliation

HMO require that you choose a primary care provider. This doctor or institution is responsible for your referrals and your primary care. They will direct you to the right doctors within the network. They will keep your records, etc. If you want your doctor to take care of you or look over you when need to be in the hospital. You must only visit the affiliated hospital. If you need to go to the emergency, you should let the nurse know which is your primary Doctor.

When you choose your doctor, make sure you also like the affiliated hospital.

You are supposed to do intensive research before selecting health insurance provider. It might looking in media, perhaps internet and consulting from others.

This blog is based on my
personal experience with this insurance. This does not pretend to be a professional statement or a research. I see no reazon to look any further to tell my own experience.

You can clearly see that I said, this is the worst insurance I ever had. I didn't say, this is the worst insurance ever or in the market in United States, New York or New Jersey.
