Recently accepted an Offer with Meta and will be starting soon.
Any pros/ cons for health care options in the SF Bay Area? I currently have Kaiser HMO as it was the only option while working at Kaiser and it’s been lackluster at times. Debating whether or not to switch over to PPO as I feel that the Kaiser experience is very “assembly line” like at times and I value quality over convenience when it comes to healthcare.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Cost-wise, copays are 20$ for primary care and 30$ for specialists. Specialists can usually be seen only via referrals from a PCP but I’ve found that the specialists in the PPO network are infinitely better than at Kaiser.
I try to stick to providers at Stanford Healthcare or PAMF/Sutter Health. Both are excellent. PAMF is slightly better.
