• Date
• Plan
• Procedure { name, included/excluded }

• Date
• Plan
• Gender on Insurance
• Age
• Procedure { name, covered/not covered }

• Company
• Plan name
• List of procedures

  • stated info

  • experiential info

  • info: covered, not/covered

    The information would be a tally of reports, potentially broken down by time period so that if a plan changes what they cover, that can be made visible

• Plans by company
• Plans by state
• Plans by procedure
• Plans on the exchange
• Medicaid plans

I do not know what the search should make easily visible.
