FedEx Freight | INSURANCE BENEFIT CHANGES

[FedexLube]

This additional dental benefit could be a good deal if only they’d elaborat wtf it is

 

[SwampRatt]

When will we ever get the option for just a married couple? People have children that grow out of the plan or decide to not have children.

Or simply an option of "employee plus one" would be nice.

I have to believe there is a metric at play, keeping costs lower for some, at the expense of others, by design.

A while back over in the union thread you were bragging about your wife being a freeloader and you were on her union insurance plan.

Wrong answer, my wife and children were on my plan up until last year...our healthcare is better but she has better dental and vision (not hard to get better than Davis) which is why they switched.

Forgive me if I don't believe a word you say. You have been known to fib a little along with being a flip flopper.

So in 2019 we have a new Vision Plan, so if I just used Davis for a new glasses will I be able to start all over and get a second set in January 2019??? Not a bad deal 2 pairs of glasses in 6 months for $0.70 each week.

Have not used any other parts of my insurance so not horror stories yet. But Halloween is near.

The new incoming insurance provider can request info from the previous one called an accumulator file to get information on members benefits they already received. If new glasses benefit is every two years, the new carrier will know you already received said benefit this year and will make you wait til 2020. If it’s a yearly benefit, I’m not sure if it’s calendar year or every 12 months.

We had that option once upon a time..

 

[SwampRatt]

We had a meeting a couple of weeks ago with representatives from the various vendors who explained the changes

Anyone else have any such meeting?

Nothing like that at my small barn. But I did see a posting at a hub that starting in 2019 FXF will give 2 week paid leave for the birth or adoption of a child. Thats pretty good.

explain to me why on earth a guy should be allowed to stay home months on end and get paid regardless if its less than his usual pay, just because his women popped out a kid....

How did you get "months on end" from 2 weeks paid leave? As much as an asshat that Freddy Smith is I think it's a nice gesture.

It's only two weeks. That said, why shouldn't he be allowed to stay home and care for the newborn while his wife recovers? Recovering from a caesarean section, for instance, can be rough on a woman when she's having to get up and down tending to a newborn 24/7. Not everyone, myself included, has the luxury of family nearby who can help out. I would have loved to have had this benefit available to me.

Employee plus one......
Gonna be some pissed off entities at RC & Co.

This insurance sucks. Our deductibles are now up in the stratosphere and you will spend thousands before they contribute one single penny. What a joke.

Maybe because it takes both to make em and both to raise em
