More Retiree Health Plans Move Away From Traditional Medicare

We got the AON MAPD info at our office yesterday. $900 MOOP, $100 for a hospital stay. The catch is, it is a PPO and while the copays are the same in and out-of-network, we have a major hospital in our area that has zero interest in billing as an out-of-network provider. Those people who have doctors at that hospital will have to make a decision that is pretty impactful for their future.

In other words, the numbers may look attractive but not enough to offset limited access to care . . . . something many agents refuse to acknowledge . . .
