Hello, I recently joined Deloitte, want to understand which health insurance is the best for my current needs. We are expecting a baby and due date is late December.

I used to have anthem blue cross blue shield from my previous employer with zero individual/family deductible so never overwhelmed with payments after Dr appointments. Of course premium was on high side but still had a peace of mind.

Any suggestions in picking up right insurance plan? Thanks in advance.

I mean, what are the options buddy? You want low deductible, low copay generally. Are you in California? If so, get Kaiser if it’s offered.

Kaiser is the best. We had it for our two kids in Cali and GA.

You are still better off going with HDHP plan. Based your location/network of hospitals you can pick Aetna/UHC/Blue.
I used UHC HDHP before / during / after pregnancy with gestational diabetes and C section. Few extra OBGYN appointments, C Section surgery, pediatric appointments didn’t impact my assessment as much.

Pre kids we used a High Deductible low premium HSA plan. When wife got pregnant we switched to a low deductible high premium Cadillac plan just to ensure we had full coverage in case of any eventuality. And thankfully we had that coverage till kids were a couple of years old because we used it fully. After kids doctors visits started going down, switched back to a high deductible plan.

For the peace of mind and to ensure your wife has full coverage, I would urge you not to scrimp on insurance during her pregnancy

Thanks everyone, since we are close to due date, my wife is not comfortable changing OBGYN. I will look out for low out of pocket plan applicable for California location which is in-network with that doctor.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
