What has been your experience with essential plans?
My workplace recently closed leaving me without the insurance I had through my employer. Since I’m currently unemployed/looking for work I applied and was approved for an essential plan. They told me the next step is to choose which provider I want to go with for my essential plan, with some options being Health First, Metro Health, Fidelis, Emblem, Anthem BCBS or United Healthcare. The person I spoke with recommended I reach out to my providers to see which essential plans they accept, but so far the only provider who responded said they don’t accept essential plans.
I’d love to hear from people who’ve been on essential plans what their experience has been like. Did you have difficulty finding providers that accept essential plans? If your essential plan was with one of the providers I was given to choose from, would you recommend that provider? I’m completely knew to this type of insurance so I’d appreciate any advice and hearing what your experience has been.
