Well that is not the same plan if it is not Florida Blue. Is Advanced Dermatology in your plan? They dropped Florida Blue right before I had an appointment there. Also Jerrold Ecklind no longer takes it. My daughter got in as a new patient in 2021 to see him and I cannot get in until I get Medicare.

Florida Blue Select Bronze ppo/EPO -
A 64 y.o. Female non- smoker monthly premium $923/mo gets you a $6,150 deductible and a $9,450 out of pocket limit. So you get to pay (add premiums and deductible combined) $20,526 before they pay out the first penny. It's pretty much the least expensive PPO plan. Yet I've been told "Select" narrows the network further.
Florida Blue asked me if I want their medigap plan and I told them I hated my current plan so no way I would go with them so they hung up on me LOL
