It's an HMO plan. No matter what they try to tell you, their most expensive plan is still an HMO (not PPO) plan. MIT Medical? Forget it. Most of that staff is incompetent.

Standard health insurance plan. The perk is that there is a Medical center on campus, as well as a pharmacy. All on campus visits are free. You can just show up and have an emergency appointment if needed.

Drs are not fazed by anything. Most of the healthcare professionals at MIT Medical have great bedside manner.

Low deductible. In-network is free. Great access to mental health services. My PCP was pretty useless though.
