Thanks BD. Looks like fewer plans in select counties vs 2014, higher OOP and more plans with Rx deductibles.

Q1 Medicare put together some great numbers for plan premiums and networks on a national level.

I abridged the info and attached it to this post.

Thanks Midwest!

Network of Plans 2015 2014
HMO 71% 68%
Local PPO 20% 21%
Regional PPO 2% 2%
PFFS 3% 5%
All Other Plans 4% 4%

I wounder what the % of PFFS non network plans were back in 2006 & 2007? Est ~90%.

"You can keep your doctor"

The trend is definitely moving away from "choose your doc" to "pick one from the following list".

You might want to see about fixing that discrepancy in the $50+ row at the 2014 Percent of Plans column. It's not 44%.
