Nice, can't wait to see what Harvard Pilgrim does for rate increases this year. I was talking with a friend and to beat the deductibles his company is using a company that like a secondary insurer but reduces deductibles by going back to providers and getting billing costs reduced. They cover the difference between the higher deductible plans and the lowered deductible they provide, using the savings on the billing. They make money as billing increases pass the higher deductible primary provider. Key is to any potential operation/procedure/exam is to shop around when possible for the same service.
