This campfire burned out long ago- almost a year in fact- but since it never made it over here, I'll post it now.  One wonders why this didn't get posted in one of the areas of Skin's that gets more exposure.   :popcorn:

Question about High Deductible health insurance

My husband's company switched everybody to a high deductible coverage effective Jan. 1. We knew nothing about this -- evidently he missed some kind of HR dept. presentation, but that's because he puts in 60-plus-hour work weeks and doesn't even have time for breaks or lunch most of the time.

Yesterday we found out we have a $4000 deductible. He was told by HR to "read the manual" but he was never given this manual, so he has no clue as to how this is supposed to work.

How is one supposed to find money in the household budget to pay for every doctor visit and prescription before one hits the deductible amount?

They say there is some kind of health savings account, but it will take a long time to save up to pay for any of this stuff, and that will cut into our finances even further in the beginning.

1. Call the insurance co and ask to be sent info. Most also have online site to see what

your benefits are, who pays what for what. Sounds like his HR is not very helpful, go to the source. You will need your insurance numbers to check as everynplan is different.

Last yr I had a 10k deductible and it was bad.

Most 0bamacare compliant policies have $6,000 deductibles. Consider yourself lucky you DUmmy.

The Dummy should start taking her lice-ridden, snotty-nosed offspring to either the ER or find a more expensive doctor to clear that deductible faster.
