Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

It'll cover your s-x reassignment surgery 100% though.

Have not had that problem in Atlanta, Ga.

Young people are less likely to need the eye, dental, medical benefits. Falls in line with Stankey working hard to get rid of the those who would need those benefits.

My neighbor in Highland Park, Tx. is a specialist who does not take AT&T insurance. He/She does have AT&T executive patients & he sends a full bill, non discounted and receives 100% reimbursement.
Executives above 4th level are not on "our" plan.

And yes, I live in Highland Park, Tx. because my spouse is a Partner in a local law firm, otherwise I'd probably be living in DeSoto or Hutchins, Tx.

I work for AT&T.

In 2023, my eye dr looked at our benefits and told me the company really values you based on this plan. Haven’t used it yet in 2024. That was an independent guy at a Target Optical. Same year, hard to find a dentist office that still takes Cigna unless they are Aspen. Lucky I have a spouse that covers me in health and dental with another plan.

All more reason to get and stay healthy and pray you survive the current medical industry in case you have an emergency. The Hippocratic Oath is to do no harm. What I've learned within the last decade, and especially the last 4 years, that the oath has changed to do all Pharm.

?? RE: Our primary care doctor doesn't get the concept of our included wellness visit and we have to fight that every time

This isn't even close to an AT&T benefits problem! Your PCP should know that part of the annual wellness visit is to assess if your meds are still aligned with your medical treatment plan. Annual lab work screenings are part of this. Depending upon lab results, either the RX's stay the same or they are modified. All your maintenance RX should be written for a 90 supply w/ 3 refills.

Our ophthalmologist of 15+ years told us EyeMed dropped him because there were too many in the local area in the EyeMed program. Guy is a great provider and we continue to use his services, just reimburse ourselves from the HSA. His rates aren't anything scary.

All the covered doctors in my area are in low income sections of the city. Hang out with the welfare recipients in the waiting rooms.

Cooking the books.

Has anyone else noticed how the HSA payment match is coming later and later as well? I use my HSA card regularly so I have to pay attention to this.

HSA match always came on the last paycheck of the quarter prior to 2024. Q1's came in the first week of Q2 and now it looks like Q2 will be in the second week of Q3..

My dentist dropped Cigna. I got a letter from Cigna he dropped them from another office than what I saw him to be effective in 2 months but no warning about the office I was seeing him at which happened 5 months prior to my appointment. I paid almost double for out of network. EyeMed is worthless and only covers in network. The high deductible BCBS/Premera has all the medical center I use in network but right after a surgery last year we got an email from the medical center explaining they were re-negotiating with BCBS because current rates didn't cover their costs. Summary: our benefits are poor!!

No problems here.

My in-laws laugh at how bad att is. Health and training were big negative feedback topics given 15 years ago on the employee management surveys. Att was aggressive in solving them. Fast forward to now and you can see that the benefit model has fully regressed and that the survey system for feedback is broken because executives don’t take it seriously (maybe due to all the rto noise). Training is ok still through PLE and vendor perks.

Should someone move across states for att in its current state? No. Leadership is an absentee landlord

eyemed is a joke. better off going to a cheaper office that doesn't take it.

haven't had an issue with cigna. unless of course you chose the HMO benefit. i can see why dentists wouldn't care to be on that plan.

Our primary care doctor doesn't get the concept of our included wellness visit and we have to fight that every time

thats a problem with your doctor. the annual physical is part of all health insurance. not just ours.

Your entire post would be better off in our yammer community. that is if you were looking for help and not just shouting into the void.

Concur. Just got the notice from our long time Eye Dr. that she's not accepting the Eye Med any longer.

Management benefits here are mid at best, but I've not had any trouble with finding doctors that accept my vision & dental.

Yup. The benefits are no longer worth dog squeeze. You can thank the HR/Legal teams for making the benefits worthless in exchange to another few months on the payroll. What shills. They'll soon receive the same benefits.

I have zero issues with providers through my high deductible anthem plan. No issues finding in network physicians or medical care. No issues with Cigna or eyemed ether. Not sure where you live but it’s not an issue for any of us using the family plan, never has been.

Even though the exec lie and say they have the same medical that we do, they do not. The Stink and the other officers have the good plans.

Stink don't care about anyone but himself.

You Matter.

Same here in CA; ATT insurance is the worst

We keep moving providers due to this, and we may last one visit, maybe 2, but one by one, every provider parts ways with our insurance eventually.
