UHC is a good healthcare provider, but our options are so dang limited under the plans we have and there's so much out of pocket... it's ridiculous. I was excited when I got hired and saw UHC... but it's been a big disappointment.
Even worse that I know you're on the inside at ALPA...
I agree with 80. It is a good provider when it comes to dealing with them but a buddy of mine was reading the forums and sent me a text about his experience.
Deductible for his wife to have a baby - $4500
It was a C-section so personal drop 6 days of reserve at 3.88 per day at $96.28 per hour $2,246.
Total? $6,746.
This is what it costs a pilot. My point is this, if you have a kid you should get to use your sick days and not have to PD. You're already going to get a bill, if you're on the HSA and the baby comes early you may get hit with a $4500 bill in January. Sure by the end of the year it all works out but $4500 is a hard check for many to write.
