The choice plan allows you to visit Doctors across a wide variety of practitioners, from mental health to chiropractors, it covers quite a bit. In combination with the HSA, it is quite helpful.

Great- covers everything with little to no copay. However, the monthly cost is high comparatively.

MIT has its own hospital. Urgent care is ok, general healthcare is mediocre. Too many students and employees for only a few doctors.

Great service, access to MIT medical right on campus. Flu shots free of charge every year.

Very reasonably priced medical and dental are available for employees who select their primary care to be at the university. For a much larger fee there is a larger network available. Both options are reasonably priced compared to other organizations.

Traditional Health Plan is with Blue Cross. I got very sick while employed at MIT and the coverage was top notch. Care was affordable and I could see some of the best doctors in Boston.

Great HMO, and there's a clinic on-site. Better than any platinum plan you could get on the exchange.
