[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1114785, member: 12570"] ky, I am covered by a Teamster health plan. The company pays a set amount per hour (8 hours only--no OT) toward my health care and pension. The union decides how this money is spent. Our BA shops around for the best plan for the members (BC/BS) and establishes any co-pays and deductibles. BC/BS administers the plan with a dedicated Teamster help line. The key to controlling your personal healthcare costs is to try to find a participating provider---this is a doctor/dentist/optometrist who accepts the payment from the insurance company as payment in full. This has saved me a buttload of money on my dental and vision bills. My out of pocket for medical is usually less than $200/year---this year it was almost double as I chose to upgrade the lenses in my back-up pair of glasses. [/QUOTE]
