Don't forget you are only allowed 2 visits to the ER, then you pay an additional $500 if you visit again.
Biggest crooks in the world. Er bill a while back for 1 day overnight released in morning? 25K . They charged 2500 for a unit of blood. My billing for medications were like 1500. All they gave me was a sleeping pill and one hydrocodone. No surgery, nothing. On the hook for 4000+ . Great benefits .According to Cigna they're in network. The healthcare industry just seems to have a license to steal these days.

My stepmother used to have blockages in her intestines that required overnight hospitalization. Various hospitals charged anywhere from a few thousand to as much as $15k. My dad would tell them he could only pay a couple thousand and pretty much that was always accepted. Thanks for reminding me of that, I'll give it a try.Doesn't sound too terrible, but I've been on an individual plan my whole working life. Don't forget to negotiate your side of the bill. They always throw out a crazy high number since many people just pay it, if you call and offer them less they'll probably work with you.
That's a good idea!Vote in a Union. Teamcare is a whole lot better than that.

That's because Obamacare exempted unions from the Cadillac tax. They can still offer fantastic care to their member s without having to worry about paying a penalty for paying to much for a great health plan
Our companies both make money, UPS workers just share in more of the labor produced profit by sticking together.I have a friend who is a Teamster driver for a private carrier. His wages are essentially the same as UPS and his medical is fantastic. He recently racked-up a $54,000 medical bill when something went awry with his inner ear. His out-of-pocket was $458, and once they saw his plan, he was upgraded to a private room immediately.

Whoa,Our benefits are an utter joke, except for Mr 7 and Dano, who think they're great.
Anyone who disagrees with him is automatically labeled a company apologist.Whoa,
Pump the brakes there, MrFedEx. I never said anything like that.
That's insane.
But, but, management says we have great insurance!Went to the ER last year with chest pains, wound up being nothing too serious. $3500 out of pocket.
If only we could, Wally. That ship has sailed.Vote in a Union. Teamcare is a whole lot better than that.

Did you read the details of the plan you chose or did you just choose the cheapest option?Had chest pain that wouldn't stop about a month ago. My wife insisted I go to the ER. Left after a little less than 3 hours, blood work done that determined no heart attack, a pain killer administered intravenously knocked the pain out. Just got a statement from Cigna that says it all cost $2870, of which I'm responsible for $1858. Way to go FedEx, pay us just enough to live paycheck to paycheck then give us healthcare that puts us in serious jeopardy if used. Looks like another monthly bill.
