High deductible health plans

Submitted by: want_help

Using a high deductible health plan really has made me more considerate of my healthcare costs. I recently moved to Nashville and do not have an ophthalmologist here. A few weekends ago I was having problems with my left eye and called my doctor at home who advised me to be seen. Instead of taking a new patient office visit, for what turned out to be an overly swollen stye, I went to Value Vision. The doctor was great, advised me appropriately, and it only cost $25. I didn’t even need to file it with my insurance. Had I not had a high deductible health plan, I would have been a lot less concerned about the cost. It has certainly been a lesson in learning that quality healthcare does not have to cost a lot.
