What is different in Thunderbolt
When the network is easy, the drug list decides
For most Thunderbolt households every Chatham hospital is inside a fifteen-minute drive, so the network question that dominates elsewhere on our map nearly answers itself. What is left is the formulary: which of your medicines the plan covers, on what tier, and whether the plan requires a prior authorisation your doctor has to fight for each January.
Timing
The enrolment windows that matter in Thunderbolt
Everyone gets the same windows. Which of them is the useful one depends on where you live and what you already have.
