In 2011 the Gold plan was the "better" plan with more coverage but no reimbursement of $'s. In 2012 the "better" plan will, I believe, be referred to as the "Select" plan.

It's very confusing!

Yes, there a some minor changes. They merged the 2 2011 plans into one. This year we will receive $75 back, and $25 quarterly for
OTC medication. Also, we will need a referral for some specialists. Specialists are $10 copay. Primary care docs do not have a copay. Hospital days are $50 for first 5 days then zero.
