Avmed Health Insurance in South Florida who just released their new individual health insurance plans this year is one of the best kept secrets in Florida Health Insurance. Their plans are priced extremely competitively and their benefits rank up there with the best from every other Florida health carrier. Their traditional Avmed Plus Plans include office visits, prescriptions coverage, and low deductible plans. What we like the best at East Coast Health Insurance is that their plans have no small print. Preventative care is covered and unlike many other PPO’s and POS plans they don’t have any restrictions for normal health. Please read our Avmed Customer Review Press Release. Avmed gets among the best reviews from its Florida health insurance clients.
The Avmed plans are very traditional in that they offer copays for office visits as well as prescription drug coverage. The best health insurance plan that they offer is their Avmed Plus Plan. The HSA health insurance policy from Avmed is very good as well however it is becoming increasingly difficult to afford an HSA plan in todays economy as it leaves most people with a high deductible and all of the medical costs to pay for before the deductible is reached. Therefore ECHealthInsurance never recommends the HSA plan if the traditional copay plans are available.
Since the Avmed health insurance plans have been released we have sold quite a few of their health insurance policies and we are finding that the best pricing is in the Fort Lauderdale – Broward County Health insurance market. With the costs of prescriptions making health insurance so expensive Avmed has made their plans even more accessible by offering to strip out the prescription coverage if the client wants which can lower the premium even further. As of this article’s printing in November 2009 Avmed is the price leader in Broward county and has become the first plan that I reach for when I get a Broward county health insurance shopper on the phone.
As of this writing Avmed’s health insurance plans are not yet on our health insurance quote engine but we are anticipating their release later this year. In the meantime we are running the quotes on our website and when you hit our Avmed quote button you will only see the Avmed plans for the time being.
AvMed earned the top spot — for the fifth year in a row — in the annual Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS)* survey. AvMed’s score of 77% is also above the national average of 64%. You can imagine how happy Avmed’s clients will be to have this sort of yardstick to measure and compare health plans. Especially when Florida’s top-ranked plan costs no more — and often less — than plans ranked below.
