Also so much talk about Doctors not in network. We have United Healthcare PPO (The Villages Healthcare plan). They have a published list by state what docs and facilities take the plan. Unfortunately we used the plan heavily this year and mostly out of Florida. We have bills from over 50 docs and facilities. 100% was in network even the ambulance. The plan has a $5900 OOP stop and that is what we paid and our share indeed did stop.
I like another poster here suggest you go to SHINE (an independent organization) for help selecting a type of plan that fits you and even more important a non biased education on the facts.
