COST DOES NOT MATTER. I already pay nearly $700/mo. for my current health insurance. I don't mind paying for great coverage. (I am in Arkansas, and yes, that usually matters.)
Here's what I'm looking for:
$500 Deductible
Coverage ANYWHERE I go, but having a "preferred network" is fine, so long as I still get coverage elsewhere.
Rx that is NO MORE than $30 for brand name drugs.
Full Dental Coverage
Vision - if possible
Yearly Out of Pocket - $2500 or less.
ALL MAJOR MEDICAL

I currently have coverage that FAR exceeds what I've listed above, but it runs out at the end of the year. I am Diabetic (type 1), and use an insulin pump.

I've not found anything even close to what I currently have. So, I've set much lower standards, as are laid out above. Where can I find such insurance? Again, cost does NOT matter.

Through an employer. No one is going to take on a Type 1 Diabetic on a private policy.

Dental is a seperate policy from that, and so is vision. So you're really looking at THREE policies - one health, one dental, one vision.

I've NEVER seen a private dental policy that pays out more than it takes in, if you run the numbers. It's just not worth it. And I've never seen a private vision policy, period, because only people with glasses or contacts would ever buy it.

So clearly, your coverage right now, if it includes dental and vision, is through your employer. You're not going to find a better plan, unless you switch employers.

The place to verify that, is your local insurance agent. If he doesn't sell health, ask him for a referral to someone who does.

A private policy (non-employer group) would probably exclude pre-existing conditions. At least the ones in my state, not sure about Arkansas. An easy to use website that allows you to plug in your criteria is ehealthinsurance.com
Good luck. I think it really comes down to whether your preferred medical professionals participate in a particular plan or not.
