Healthcare (Teamcare) how much does it cost?

[DeadOnArrival]

Been with the company over a year,
Just started getting healthcare benefits two months ago, happy with the coverage and co pays.. Got new contact lenses already after eye exam. Every month my family practitioner co pay is only $10..

The TeamCare website is designed well and easy to navigate..

How much is this great healthcare costing me?
I asked TeamCare directly on the phone last month and they simply replied.. 'No idea.'
Asked a variety of coworkers, 'no idea...'

No deductions from pay stubs..

Is this a state secret?
Or... Is it.. No cost, lol?

My BA told me UPS pays somewhere around $400/week for Teamcare on our behalf.

 

[DeadOnArrival]

I like the sounds of that, when I tell people I work for UPS somewhere in the conversation they always bring up the good healthcare.

If I was married and had children I would be grateful for these benefits

As a single man.. I am still grateful, .. This is one sweet gig if the benefits are free.. Wonder why no one else is excited to work here haha

UPS contributes toward our Health and Welfare, which includes Teamcare and our pension.

DOA-----do you really go to your doctor once a month?

Yeah, I take loads of drugs.

Sounds weird saying that, but, call a spade a spade

Not exactly sure how it all works, I admit. Just that my doctors always comment on my great coverage...and that that's what my BA told me, true or not.

DOA, I think there is supposed to be a deductible coming soon for us, but I don't know how much. Nothing compared to what people in reality are paying, I can at least promise that much. Teamcare is great.

For as much as people here complain about our coverage, Teamcare is among the better health insurance plans out there. Yes, there are co-pays and deductibles, but they simply force you to become a better medical consumer.

I had a root canal on Monday and got a post and crown put in yesterday. Zero out of pocket for both procedures.

 

[DeadOnArrival]

Well, no.

Even though I've got grove and soul.. I'm white.

Nevertheless I wanted to be straight forward in why I goto my doc monthly

I never understood the complaints about Teamcare. I suppose that's in part because I didn't work here when Teamsters had the other plan. I can't complain, though. I invite anybody who thinks Teamcare is bad to try their luck in reality for a change...or talk to a family member that isn't in a union.

I also had some root canal work done about a year ago. I only paid for the crowns, and even then, only 10%. Everything else was covered, 100%.

The complaints about Teamcare is that it is lesser coverage than what many previously had but, as you said, it is far better than the average plan.

I thought that I had good coverage but my daughter's healthcare plan blows mine away. Her coverage, which started on day one of her employment, is amazing.

I know a lot of farmers, they're my neighbors, and work at the same hub as me.

Farm in the early morning, goto daylight sort, farm in the evening, they all have families and say if it wasn't for the health benefits, they wouldn't work at UPS

They love the coverage

We had our first child almost a year ago. My wife has her own insurance thru her employer plus is on ours so she's double covered. We ended up with an $800 check for overpayment for the delivery. Pretty crazy.

Did you send that back to her insurance company?

I always thought of the company paid health coverage as part of my salary. It's gotta be worth another $18k a year, on top of my pay. It's still good coverage in my supplement. I am grateful.

Great avatar btw.

Crowns are covered at 80 percent Dan.

Are you in my dental plan?

I had to transition off my parents healthcare and onto TeamCare, having two providers simultaneously could have led to one provider disputing charges

 

[Brownslave688]

No. It was payment that we had made.


Her doctor estimates how much you'll owe then spreads the payment over all of the appointments. Lightens the burden and theoretically you're all paid up at time of delivery
