It's out there, you just have to shop around.
And I'd recommend a local place instead of just comparing online. That way you've got someone you can sit down with and ask questions. Generally, they're going to be offering you the same stuff that you'd find in line, but they won't kill you with fine print.
The problem with lesser known companies is many networks don't accept them which leaves you paying cash for the visit then filing with your insurance afterwards which is a pain.
At a minimum, check to make sure your PCP is in network. You probably want to check with your local hospital, also. Call the providers directly to verify. Don't rely on the insurance company's online list of in network providers. These lists are notoriously out of date.
