In a word, YES. Without a doubt. This is exactly the coverage we have.

IMHO there is no advantage to an advantage plan. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is..A healthy person may dquestion those opposed to advantage plans. but check out actual costs (deductioble, copays, ans moew).Onemay switch to an advantage plan, but it is often made extremely difficult to switch back, and then one is then stuck.
Do your homework amd exercise due diligence!!!
