[TriLUG] OT: NC insurance options

[Mitchell Amiano]

Even with BCBSNC there are different options.  
Blue Advantage HSA is pretty high deductible but a lower cost alternative to a more traditional plan.  
There is also United Health Care, which servers small businesses and individuals (http://www.uhc.com/).
Check out the Triangle chapter of the Health Underwriters association for potentially other resources (http://www.nctahu.org/).

I've heard of some church-based plans, but cannot think of the name; I think they tend to be more like cooperatives than insurance. 
Another thing to look at is clinics. Raleigh has one: http://www.alliancemedicalministry.org/primary-care/ 
I've heard that cash-basis offices have fairer pricing schedules, but there are few of them around and hard to get into. 

Regards,
Mitch
