While other plans in the market seem to require a PhD in mathematics to understand, the new SimpleChoice plans are easy to understand and yet broad in coverage. Effective July 1, 2005 SimpleChoice plans will offer a wide range of premium levels that are affordable for nearly everyone.

The SimpleChoice cost-sharing features are key to SimpleChoice's success. Designed to avoid substantial and frequent rate increases in the future, the SimpleChoice plans will offer Californians a simplified approach to selecting and buying individual health coverage that features rate stability, affordability, and flexible choices.

Health Insurance shoppers will have a choice of 5 new plans that offer varying degrees of cost sharing (and premiums) and low co-pays for preventative office visits.

Perhaps the best feature of the new SimpleChoice plans is that the out-at-pocket maximum expense (OOPM) is pegged at the deductible, meaning once the deductible is met, so is the OOPM. Health Net's goal is to look for ways to make customers' life simpler. It starts with affordable, understandable plans with stable rates.
