I currently have a 80/20 PPO with an annual $250 deductible. $10 dr visits, $5 to 12 for drugs etc through my job. . . my fiance has an HMO plan w/ his job. After we're married, I thought it would be good to have both an HMO and a PPO plan (we both have to have a health insurance plan through our jobs), but someone told me it's better to have 2 PPO plans and combine. If so, why? Or should we go one PPO, and a HDHP (high deductible plan) instead? Since both our jobs make us pay the same for our insurance whether we're single or have a family, we'd like to add one another on each other's plan but what is the best strategy to pay the least for good insurance?
