I have United Health Care, the plan I chose through my work has a low deductible and instant coverage on Dr visits at $25 a pop. The only downside is I am limited to a "Network" or Dr's and unfortunately Defy isn't one of them. They do however cover my labs at 100%. I asked if they will cover the meds and was told NO because the ordering Dr is out of network.
