- In that case, the higher deductible might be better for you. Especially being single with no dependents. - Jim Sep 11, 08:10 1
  - it also depends on what medications you take monthly and how much they are. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 11, 08:11

  - Well...retail. But his plan will still have a negotiated rate on those services. - Jim Sep 11, 08:11 7
    - Right. We have a HDHP plan (but my company picks up most of it). We still get the rates, we just have to pay. -- nm - spamlet Sep 11, 08:15
    - what's a normal negotiated rate for an MRI these days? I'm just curious. -- nm - amanda hk Sep 11, 08:13 5
      - Honestly, without querying through our system to find patients who've had MRIs, I don't know. - Jim Sep 11, 08:23 1
        
        I just did a cost estimate on my health insurance site - negotiated amount is right at $700, they say. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 11, 08:40
      - I think David's was around $700-800. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 11, 08:19 2
        
        plus $50k for pain and suffering - David Sep 11, 08:30
