I have that medical savings plan at my work too, its called the cafeteria plan. What's great about it is you can borrow from the total you *will* put in during the rest of the year, even if you haven't contributed that much yet. The bad thing is you have to use it or lose it.
As far as your HMO PPO dilemma, do you know for sure the PPO doesn't have the same of similar restrictions on mental health costs? I would make sure of that before I decided anything. If it doesn't, I would definately go with the PPO. The thing about the CSR's deciding on your treatment is ludicrous. But that's what our healthcare system is coming to. (sigh...)
