MAC and high deductible health plans don't go together well. I was 4 1/2 years on a HDHP and recently went on Medicare. A respiratory culture at uchealth cost me $14, at NJH it was $400.
Each year I eventually hit my deductible, so,time in the first month.
Cedars-Sinia and UCLA are ranked higher then NJH in this report ..

Hi Rick,

Thank yo for your prompt reply. I have Federal Blue Cross which has been pretty good. I will look into part B Medicare.

I wrote to Cedars to see if they do the subspecies and load analysis since UCLA does not.
I live close enough to go to Cedars.
