Cost for New benefits not bad at all for 2025.

"Yeah, cost went up 22% for family medical. Same coverage on the surface. Imagine that. Plus all the other costs, insurance tripled, property taxes doubled, everything else was up through the roof. Yet my exceeds rating was only got for a 1.65% pay increase. If we keep winning like this, I might find myself homeless and living in my car."
Surprised the mis/dis-information department hasn't taken this post down yet...spewing factual information like you are 😁
Remember to make the adjustments for accurate coverage and premium rates. Either last year or the year before they changed it from and opt-in smoker coverage to opt-out. Didn't notice until I went to double check spousal coverage after someone (on here I think) mentioned that smoker was the default. I guess too many people "forgetting" to select they were smokers. Now if you consciously de-select smoker status if the person is actually a smoker they can get you for fraud.
Second on the dental. Invisalign (brand name) was less than $1k out of pocket. It was 5k before coverage. Could have even gotten it cheaper if I had been willing to drive 20 minutes to a different provider.
“Who cares. No one takes their Dental around here and Eye Med is only good for the like of Walmart optometrists. Health insurance options are a joke too.”
You don’t take the dental coverage? Why wouldn’t you? I just had two kids with braces and a wife with invisiline and I thought the coverage was great. Insurance coverage a lot of the cost.
People talking about Eye Med.
My Dr stopped taking it so I had to find new one, but the coverage and benefits are still quite good.
But that’s small potatoes stuff.
It’s all about medical insurance. And what they offer here is high deductible high premium cr-p that gets more expensive every year.
Hopefully the new benefits pay for the little blue pills because my old shriveled tool is otherwise limp. Also hoping melon jobs are covered for my wife because her old ju-s are sagging. Benefits covering quality of life stuff makes for happy and productive employees.
You will be paying 2024 coverages thru 2025 cuz took so long to ratify new TA.
Pretty sure the post was referring to management open enrollment since those details just became available in the last week.

Yeah, Local 9509 proud that over 50% voted no both times.
No doubt. Live in Texas and homeowners went up 30%. Seems like that was a deal in that my insurance agent said the rates close to the coast went up more. I would suggest that if anyone’s insurance is coming up for renewal they check and see the amount of increase. They know at least a month or more ahead of time.

I hate Stankey and am no fan of T at all…but I really don’t think the benefits are that bad.
Maybe it’s a regional thing and there aren’t doctors or places that take your insurance where you’re at?
I’ve never had issues around here and eye med has covered designer frame, transitions lenses, and my yearly - no idea.
yeah, the benefits are not bad at all for the Stink!
Rest of us - Stink don't give a f*ck!

I don’t know what you’re talking about, I go to a designer eye-glass place with great optometrists…eye care covers a lot of my costs…I do pay for the upper tier plan though.
I got $1400 Akoni Frame, lenses with all the coatings, and my check-up for $400 out of pocket.

The coverage is a joke.
