Torn between 2 plans: 0% vs 30% coinsurance

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to decide between two plans from the same insurer. The difference in premium is $10/month.

-Plan A

$2,650 Individual total Deductible $5,300 Family Total Deductible $6,800 Individual total OOP $13,600 Family Total OOP Gold 0% coinsurance (lower visit costs, but most services will require deductible to be met before paying) Estimated Yearly Cost (high use) $26,046

-Plan B

$1,500 Individual total Deductible $3,000 Family Total Deductible $7,250 Individual total OOP $14,500 Family Total OOP Gold 30% coinsurance (higher visit costs, but most services have a set price) Estimated Yearly Cost (high use) $27,841

On the phone they recommended plan B because they said having set prices makes it easier etc. For my wife Plan B sense for pregnancy and all, but it looks like I will need to get a small surgery (more than $5k) done this year, and Plan A seems to be cheaper because of the 100% coinsurance.

Would it make sense to do 2 separate plans, or is there something I’m overlooking that makes one plan better than the other?

Thanks
