My COBRA is running out in the next few months and I need to purchase health insurance in CA. There is a bewildering variety of what appear to be expensive (and potentially useless) plans from Bluecross, Aetna, HealthNet in CA. I was looking for unlimited physical therapy visits (with payment of out of network ) and a facility to provide for experimental treatment e.g. since these are the most appropriate for CPPS. But no one is giving me any answers especially the experimental part e.g. Botox and some types of nerve blocks stating that all this is decided on a case to case basis and they will not let me know unless I buy it.
So is there anyone who has had experience with this? Thank you for any answers
