I would recommend finding a reputable independent agent that reps several companies.
Our agent knew we travel and we signed with Cigna/Assurrant.
I think at the time she said United and Cigna were the only two that covered nationwide with one plan but that may have changed.
Cigna is about to be purchased by Anthem (which is the parent company of BCBS, which is dumping private-pay PPO's in Texas.)
Aetna has agreed to buy Humana and it's rumored that UnitedHealth wants to buy Aetna.
Things are changing very fast in the health insurance industry.
As BK suggested, see an actual live/in-person agent who is up-to-date on all this stuff.
