Here is some research I did for us southern Californians. Won't be useful to everyone but I think it's worth the post. I applied for insurance today through Covered California and was offered too many plans!! I narrowed it down by the best deal and I was still stuck with 3 options! I then decided to check the list of doctors on here that work with pilonidal cysts and compare it to the network of doctors available on each plan I had left. There were absolutely ZERO matches for "SHARP (#1/premium)" and only ONE match for "ANTHEM BLUE CROSS" Here is a list of the doctors on this website I found for "HEALTH NET", the plan I selected. These doctors and the info after was copy and pasted from this website and was not altered in any way. I deleted doctors that did not show up on any of the three specific plans mentioned above, please view the original list under "find a surgeon" on this websites homepage.
