Benefits question for EY folks: I’m starting in two weeks and was looking at the Alex tool for health insurance options. Does neither the Select nor the Premier insurance options offer copays? The Alex tool makes it seem like you pay everything out of pocket until you hit your deductible ($1k or $600 respectively) and only after that is when copays/coinsurance kicks in?

Unless you have significant known medical issues, the high deductible is always the way to go. Why pay high premiums when you could instead contribute to an HSA and invest that money if not used year over year? Also, in a worst case scenario when considering premiums and deductibles, the max out of pocket is nearly identical between the plans. It’s a no brainer. I max out my HSA contribution ever year and see it as another source of income for retirement.

Wrong answer! I used to think that way too, but the HDHP doesn’t cover anything even if you are a heathy individual. I’ve been in a HDHP for 3 years now and I nearly depleted my HSA account. You are much better off getting a better plan with higher premiums and more coverage.

Will be joining in a few weeks. I’ve worked for Deloitte and another big company before and have never seen that lol I figured it was standard that any plan that isn’t a high deductible plan had copays for doctor’s/specialist’s/therapist/etc visits. Maybe I’m just naive lol

Yeah this was my experience. Usually there is a negotiated discount but you still end up with most of the bill.

Any tax accountants/attorneys in here? What would happen to the 401k of a foreign worker if they cannot longer maintain an immigration status and have to go back home? What about a ROTH 401k?
