Good to know. I was never a socialized medicine guy until I came to the big DAL, but you all have convinced me. TriCare for all baby.

I currently do Tricare Select for the family and do a supplemental program through MOAA that gives my family a lot of flexibility and choice off-base. My wife also works for a Fortune 500 company so we could go back to her insurance if need be (we haven’t gone that route up until now based on cost) and essentially get the same quality of care with our current route.

How good/bad (cost, quality, red tape) is Delta health insurance? Any words of advice based on my situation? Any blind spots I should try to avoid?

Thanks for the time and looking forward to joining the team!
Retired military here. 20 years active. Still have Tricare Select with the MOAA Mediplus supplemental. Works great. I don't know any military guys here at Delta (retired or reserve) that use Delta's Health Plan.

I do use Delta's Dental plan, as well as vision.

Two things I'm trying to figure out regarding health benefits:
Is is a high-deductible or low-deductible plan?
When do the benefits kick in after hire date?
If anyone has that info, thanks in advance. Just want to have a plan for transition from current job to DL (don't need in-depth info).

Benefits kick in day 1 of indoc. I believe the HSA's are considered high deductible plans.
