Reimbursement of Medicals??

[flygirl_1313]

Does your company reimburse for medicals or are you on your own? I think it would be nice if companies picked up the bill.. just my opinion.

I've worked for some that do and some that don't. Currently, company picks up one and the pilot picks up the other during any given year.

Not only do they pay for them we get paid milage and lunch if it runs thru a feeding time..

Company reimburses $150/yr for medicals.

No they don't and yes it would.

At least it's tax deductible.

Some medical plans pay for it as your annual physical. At every company I have worked work it is a requirement to be employed as a pilot and you are responsible for maintaining that requirement for employment.

Well, it definitely looks like more and more companies are paying for the medical. 80% of the companies I have worked for have paid for the medical. It's a nice thing to have thrown in there as an extra bonus.
