However, some plans pick up more medical costs than others. These benefit differences are reflected in monthly premium.

Good to know: Learn to Negotiate. Want to reduce your medical bills? Don't be shy. One of the best ways to lower your healthcare costs is to negotiate with your doctor prior to receiving treatment. Be upfront. Your doctor already knows the projected cost of your treatment, and there's no harm in asking him how much you will be expected to pay. When you receive your estimate, don't just accept it outright. Instead, work with your doctor or healthcare provider to see if you can haggle it down. Often, you can cut a deal with your healthcare provider if you simply ask. Setting up payment plans or promising to pay in cash may help to lower your costs, but these aren't your only options. Speak with your healthcare provider to see if they offer any unique savings options for people in your situation.
