My current plan, as well as hubby's, is a Humana PPO. We have been very happy with it. We are always free to choose our own specialists without having to go through our primary. I always ask that the specialist keep our primary abreast of what's going on, though. That is my choice to do and I exercise that choice.

I had also considered Humana PPO, as well as Blue cross PPO......however, the few meds that I take we're going to be way more expensive than with the HMO plans.
