<p>The math is simple.  <span id="more-7706"></span>If you have an NC health insurance plan with a $3000 deductible and could enroll in a plan that pays $6350 directly to you for a first time in patient hospitalization and $200 for every day you are confined up to 10 days, the <a href="https://www.manhattandirect.net/individualproducts/outofpocket/productinfo.aspx?AGC=11485&amp;State=0" target="_blank">Out of Pocket Protection Plan</a> will more than cover your deductible.  In addition, this plan offers a $50 benefit paid directly to you for 2 doctor visits a year, meaning less cost to you when you visit your physician.  If your current health plan has copayments in place for doctor visits, the Out of Pocket Protection Plan could cover or exceed your copayments for routine care.</p>
<p>Offering an Outpatient Surgery Benefit as well as an Emergency Accident Benefit of $250 (up to 4 a year), the Out of Pocket Protection Plan is a smart way to save money. With incredibly low monthly premiums, this plan can more than pay for itself and can give you the comfort of knowing your deductible is covered when you need it most.</p>
