What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
I am pregnant due March 14th. I receive health insurance through my job at no cost to me. It's a BCBS PPO policy. In December my husband can add me to his BCBS HMO policy at no cost to him. My doctor and hospital are in network for both and accept both policies. My question is, can I use both? My PPO is an 80/20 plan with an $500 deductible and $2,500 out of pocket. The HMO has $0 deductible and $1,500/per person out of pocket. I was told that I can keep my PPO unt August when I quit and just use the HMO. But thag doesn't sound right. How will the coordination of benefits work? Should I cancel my PPO coverage and just use the HMO? My child will go on my husbands because his birthday is before mine and I will lose mine anyway in August. Thank you
