J.S.
With the SAG-Producers Health Plan, you can go in network, which is The Industry Health Network (TIHN), or you can go out of network, which is the Blue Cross Plan.
I have had SAG-Producers Health Plan for 14 years, and I love TIHN. Through TIHN, you have access to the MPTF Health Centers (Hollywood, West LA, Toluca Lake, Woodland Hills, Mission Hills, and Valencia). According to the California Consumer Survey, the MPTF has the highest rating in overall health care and care from a personal doctor or nurse.
And depending on the your plan level, the deductibe and copays are much less when you use TIHN vs. Blue Cross. Deductibles are $150 as opposed to $500-$750; Copays are $15-$25 vs. 20-30% of the plan's allowance.
