Most people live in two buckets:

1. Do you want to live in a health insurance environment?

2. Do you want to live in a cash pay environment?

Cash pay typically saves you 70% up front.

Even the best insurance plans are utilizing cash pay to manage costs.

1. How long has the company been around (the longer the better)

2. Verify how much cash the company is sitting on (can they pay out claims?)

3. Are they independently audited for financial stability?

4. What is their loss ratio? How well are they doing at managing their costs?

If these things come back positive, they are a possible fit.
