Less than $360 for family at MQ. Med/Den/Vision
nm
Do they still pay vision since switching
to TriNet? The rates went up pretty significantly on everything else.
If vision is an option, can you answer this? sm
Any eye care specialist (or contact lens wearer) attest that glasses do not improve vision as well as contacts lenses. Contacts correct the peripheral vision whereas glasses do not. Also, speaking from personal experience, NOTHING compares to LASIK. Contacts corrected my vision to 20/20 bilaterally. I had LASIK done almost 3 years ago and my vision is still 20/15 in both eyes.
I had custom wavefront, which was pretty pricy at $3300. However, I haven't paid a dime for vision correction since my procedure. Before LASIK, I would estimate my annual eyecare costs ranging from $450 to $600.
Insurance companies will pay for auditory surgery such as cochlear implants to correct hearing impairment, which they should. But how is surgery to correct hearing any different than LASIK to correct a visual impairment? Couldn't the same argument (cosmetic)be used if a hearing aid provided the same benefit as an expensive cochlear implant?
I just don't understand the inconsistency. Could it be that people with visual problems far outnumber those with hearing loss? Just a thought.
They don't pay for vision unless you have medical insurance.
When I first started they paid for vision, but unless you get medical coverage it is no longer free, unless it changed with the enrollment that is going on now.
Dental and vision are separate and extra. sm
I don't know how much, though, because I tossed the info on it as the provider list for the dental was SO LIMITED it wasn't even worth it, I couldn't get any dentist I wanted.
Their individual insurance is $52 a mo and their dental and vision
run it up to about $60 a month. If you leave, you also get to Cobra the dental and vision together at $30 a month. I know because I left and went back. Nice folks.
Yes, medical, dental, vision, and life

about 180 per 2 weeks for family, dental, and vision.
Vision and dental are separate. 250 deductible. there is a cap of out of pocket expenses for family, I am not sure as I am not covered right now, but will in the near future. they pay 90%. Office visits Co-pay with medication co-pay. It is really a great coverage and by far the best from what other companies offer that I have found.
Hope that helps. Check them out. I think they are great to work for!
I pay about $75 per pay period for medical, dental, vision with TT sm
for single coverage -- I don't consider that 'huge, especially compared to other quotes I have seen. I definitely paid more than that when I had coverage on my own.
The foreseeable future is viewed through 20/200 vision.
which means it's not going to be too far down the road.
I have medical, dental, and vision at TransTech for about $72 per pay period. nm
I don't think you missed much. When I looked at the dental and vision plans sm
with AFLAC, it didn't look like they paid for much compared with the premium charged. I didn't talk to the representative guy, though, so maybe I misinterpreted the info. Anyway, I am trying to shop for something different, just to help cover the basics. I do wish I had taken out the disability protection with them, though ... maybe next year. :-)
I am extremely grateful for the insurance, though. So far, it seems to pay pretty well and has been a lifesaver!
When we signed up for the new vision and dental, it said in the forms that it started 6/1. Deductio
They were waiting for the paperwork from the insurance company, so it was delayed. Technically, the money should have come out on 6/1 and you knew this signing up for it.
I don't want to sound uncaring, but we knew when we signed up that the premiums were monthly and started 6/1. I had the extra month of $15, so I knew it would come out.
The truth is that the double was $30 but one was only $15, so it was $15 extra. If they had taken it out last month, would you have been complaining?
I personally am glad that we have vision and dental now and that every year my benefits get better rather than being taken away like with some companies.
Also, it is the bank that determines that if it falls on the 1st, it posts on Monday. My bank posts on Saturday, so not a problem. Before you complain, make sure you have something to complain about. They have also had them in on the Friday in the past, so I am not going to bash a good company for something that has not happened. If it does go on Monday, that is what we know from day one, so it is not that they are pulling a fast one or making changes; this is the way it has been for the 5 years I have worked for them.
Blue Cross medical,Guardian dental, Spectera vision, 10,001 lines per pay period. sm
Cost per pay period for single coverage is $94.36, $1.68 vision, $7.06 dental. Hope this helps.
