Very good. Don't need referrals for specialty doctor's visits. ER is only $25, specialist $15. All Merck brand prescription drugs are free.

The best thing about health coverage at Merck is it was very affordable and comprehensive. They have a number of different options and I never had any issues with the ones I selected.
