So you can figure that into your calculations. And the silver looks pretty good, with lower copays, like 30 bucks for PCP in network and 60 for specialists. But look at your pharmacy closely, including mail in. Actually go through your RXes and see what the formulary is and if it has changed. Which mail in program they use and if that is changing.

Other than a surgery or life changing illness, those are the main points. Oh, also check out specialty pharmacy just in case. It's for stuff like infusions. I have those done, so let me tell you it isn't unusual. And I have BCBS. They're good but you still have to watch them like a hawk. Or they'll stiff you.
