If you feel you\u2019re not ready for the type of high-deductible plan<\/a>, you have other options. There are other types of plans that have lower premiums and higher deductibles that allow you to make certain decisions about what benefits you really need. If there are some coverage benefits you may not need, such as brand-name prescriptions<\/a>, you can choose a plan without that benefit. Some plans also offer limited doctor visits and others even come with traditional copayments<\/a> for primary care visits, if you\u2019re more comfortable with a traditional plan design.<\/p>\n
