Three national PPO networks — you choose

These plans don't all run on the same network. That matters more than almost anything else on this page, because the network decides whether your doctor is in or out.
Check yours before you pick a plan.

Aetna PPO Network

One of the largest carrier networks in the country — 1.2 million+ health care professionals and 5,700+ hospitals nationwide, backed by Aetna, a CVS Health company. Available as PPO or EPO on the PSM Livelihood major medical plans.

Directory listings change constantly. Always confirm with the provider's office that they currently accept the specific plan before you enroll — and if you tell us which doctors you want to keep, we'll check both networks for you.

Four plan families, four different trade-offs

The right one depends on how much coverage you want, what you can qualify for medically, and what you want to spend. Here's the honest comparison.

How this works

Nothing here commits you to anything. Talk to one of our licensed advisors about your options and we can help you compare them out.

Run your own numbers

Open the comparison tool, set your age and who needs covering, and see every plan option priced out side by side.

We review it together

Call or book a time. We'll tell you honestly whether one of these beats what's available to you on the exchange — sometimes it doesn't, and we'll say so.

Medical review

Most of these plans ask health questions. A "yes" is not an automatic denial, and some plans ask none at all.

We handle enrollment

Start to finish, at no cost to you. Including your ACA or Covered California options if those turn out to be the better fit.

Not sure which direction makes sense?

Most people never see private ERISA-qualified coverage compared side by side with their ACA or Covered California options. We do both — so you get the real comparison,
not half of it.
