Health insurance deductible question
by The Holtz Room (2024-04-29 17:27:29)

I just got the “congrats on your upcoming birthday, here’s your new (way higher) premium letter.

I’ve been with BCBS for a number of years and in that time have only had one (albeit self-inflicted over 10 years ago) significant series of claims. Knock on wood, in good health.

I’ve been paying out of pocket for a little while now.

As I’m finishing up this gig and looking for something with benefits, I’m wondering if I shouldn’t just up my deductible (I believe it’s $1,500 now) in order to contain my out of pocket costs until I find something new.

Your thoughts/suggestions are appreciated.

And we can leave “move to Canada or Sweden” as posted.
