"One punch a week to maintain insurance"?

[Mr. Sir]

 

[ManInBrown]

If you have a drs note covering you the week you were absent, you are fine.

Not true. Doctors note or not, missing every day of the week results in loss of insurance for the following week. You must burn a sick day, or file for STD.

What time does your shift start? Can you schedule the dental work later than your shift and work the day of the dental appointment?

Same here. I used mine for perscription sunglasses back in October. First time using the vision benis, and I still paid over $120 out of pocket. Vision is definitely the weakest link in my teamcare plan.

Our vision coverage includes an annual exam, free frame and lenses (from a limited selection). Optional items such as scratch coverage extra.

I used my benefits to change the lenses in an old pair to prescription sunglasses.

with that much work done, I'm sure you are over your allowed limit.

Here in the south, we get $1500 a year for dental. A root canal and, as you said, crowns, and a tooth pulled, would put you waaay over that amount

No annual maximum here. Root canals are covered at 100%, crowns are 80%. The root canal itself was $1400 yesterday!

Geez guys are babies. I had a root canal and was back to work the next day and no I didn't use any pain pills. Lol.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I had a vasectomy and was back in the lineup that night.

Yes we are. Now you know why the female species bears children.

I thought you lose it for that week, not the following week?

 

[ManInBrown]

No. I've actually ran into this exact problem. The week you're working is insurance for the following week.

Good to know.

Dang! She likely lost some teeth with that one.

Not under Teamcare.

Don't work in a week, you lose coverage, Dr's note or not.

The only time you don't lose coverage is short term disability of FMLA.

Or vacation?

I did too..

I was on a weeks suspension and decided to take the kids to the dentist, guess what?

I had to pay for Cobra coverage.

Mgt will offer week long layoffs occasionally and whoever takes them realize they won't have coverage for the week they are off.

He double clutched that one too.

 

[Mugarolla]

Or vacation?

Correct.

Or if a Holiday falls in that week or if you take an option day during that week.

I'm
With dr brown on this one. We had a lot of older drivers take a layoff. Suddenly they were told pay cobra or pay up.
