I met all of the deadlines but there were still problems -- information on the exchange was wrong (e.g. it said there were no high deductible HMOs eligible for HSAs when in fact there were several), I received bills for two other people, access to the CDPHP web site was unavailable for about two months, automatic payments were not available. I took it in stride as the Healthcare Exchange was new and buggy. Plus CDPHP was very open about the problems whenever I contacted them. In terms of price you will pay more for CDPHP -- both Empire Blue Cross and MVP had less expensive plans for my area. I probably could have saved a few hundred dollars per year with comparable plans from either Empire or MVP but due to my professional experience with CDPHP I decided to stick with them. Plus I knew just about every provider in the Capital Region accepts CDPHP. A few months after getting coverage I developed a rather serious medical problem that required diagnostic work-up and surgery. I knew when I chose my coverage I would have some costs I would have to pay since I had a high deductible HMO. I have found CDPHP great to work with. I stayed within their preferred network for my radiology studies (and you do have a lot of choices) and a PET scan was paid in full (except the radiologist charge, which is normal). My bills have been easy to understand and paid in a timely fashion without any problems. When I have called CDPHP to ask questions they have answered my questions in a timely fashion. What you learn with insurance is it is the service and coverage that you get when it is needed that counts. CDPHP is a bit more expensive but when you need it they deliver.

FAQs for granite countertop service projects in Claverack, NY
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.
Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.
Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.
Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.
Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.
Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.
Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.
Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot.
