Sky West Insurance?

[HughBeamont]

At Colgan we have some BS Anthem PPO. Family is over $300/month. I love it when my wife asks about my twice-monthly paycheck, "Why is it $800?".

Granted, that's after 401(k), dependent care, medical savings acount, etc, but it's still pathetic.

Horizon pays 100% of the premiums for individuals, and 50% for dependents.

Year deductible is $200.
In-Network Copay is 20%, otherwise 40%
Maximum paid out in 24 consecutive months: $5000.
Maximum lifetime benefit: $10,000 (I really hope this is a misprint on our website)

Prescriptions copay is $0 if you go generic, and $30 for 90 days for preferred drugs, $80/90 days for brand-name non-preferred.

I never really paid attention to health insurance, but for just me at ASA it's $37.50/mo including dental (used to be $20 before they raised it last year). Copay is only $15 and while I'm sure people have had problems, I have had a few doctor visits and labs and everything had been paid correctly (although I occasionally get a bill for something like $4, big deal).

While there's more important stuff to worry about, hopefully SkyWest will let the ASA guys keep their health insurance because it sounds like it's a little better.

Delta Dental $13.41

As far as UHC PPO is concerned, what you have is a lot better.

Family: $121.77 per pay check
$20.00 copay

It's how they choose to pay out for things that is irritating as hell. My previously mentioned cholesterol test is a case in point. Simple blood work is already paid for when you pay your copay to the doctor even though you go to a lab to get your blood drawn. We fought with UHC for almost four months over this before they finally paid the lab what was owed them. It was a whole $23.00, but it was the principle. They wanted us to pay the copay plus 20% (ie major lab work). We were initially told that there was no such thing as minor lab work. Funny...........it says minor lab and x-ray included with copay right here.......................... Devil's in the details, I guess, but you get the point.

With BCBS an MRI was considered Hospital out-patient -in network (if you indeed were in-network) $50.00 copay and you were out the door. We're fighting with UHC for an MRI over a bill totalling almost $1300.00. Huge a$$ difference, dontcha think?

Family of five-wow. As a lowly paid regional pilot no less. Do you pay additional for the 2 wives?

This "lowly paid" regional pilot has one wife, is not part of the predominant religion who, by the way, banned polygamy in the early 1900's and will probably come pretty darn close to making $90K this year- well above the national average.
