Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Medicare Advantage by AT&T

Received the information for the AT&T Medicare Advantage, and it could be interesting for some people. There is a $900 maximum in or out of network out of pocket maximum. There is a pharmacy max out of pocket of $6550 (page 29). The out-of-network availability is quite liberal.

Now, the odd stuff. Premium costs
Subsidized retiree (maintains dental and vision HRA)
• Retiree $0 per month and loss of $2400 in HRA reimbursement = $2400.00
• Dependent $98.13/month and loss of $1300 HRA reimbursement = $2477.56
Non-subsidized retiree
• Retiree $98.13/month = $1177.56
• Dependent $98.13/month = $1177.56

So, it's a different deal depending on whether you are subsidized. I would note that the HRA plan for subsidized employees has a $100,000 catastrophic pharma benefit that will to some extent reduce the value of the cap in AT&T's Med-Advantage plan.
For some people this plan might work out, regardless of the subsidy math.

Easy Choice for me.

  1. Medicare is $1600 yr
  2. Humana is $600 yr
  3. Rx plan is $120 yr

Total $2320 per year and the company reimburses me $2700 per year. I'm making bank on $380.

UHC Advantage plan

  1. Medicare cost $1600 yr
  2. Company will reimburse $300

This healthcare choice will cost me $1,200 yr. and you will fight every UHC healthcare decision. They never want to pay, you have to threaten UHC to receive your benefits and when a error is made it is in their better interest never to your benefit - but it's always an honest mistake. Right!

Tough Decision..................NOT!

Welcome to Medicare. AT&T or no AT&T, this is the kind of stuff you have to figure out.

What the F is this? You have to be a lawyer, benefits experts, and mathematician to even understand this nonsense. That is, if it actually makes any sense to begin with.
