I never even THOUGHT about an issue like this. Thanks for the heads up regarding that issue !
Even though all of my medical care that is related to my disability is covered by WC, I still have to pay the higher rates.

If you have a particular treatment regiment in mind--say you want inpatient Ketamine twice a year, than research which insurance companies approve that procedure regularly. For anyone needing top quality medical care the higher level plans (f-h are excellent generally) they're actually a good value. Expect yearly rate hikes though...
