I read somewhere that POps made a study where they found that the vast majority of Googlers would get more benefit from gHip

I have anthem ghip. There was a reason I got it but I don’t remember. I just remember seeing a spreadsheet that compared the benefits of all three relative to my needs and that seemed the best for me. So first do that- in your company I’m sure there’s a place that spells out all the benefits. If not you can find it online

like

Search online or search within your company. It was something I found within my company in our search portal

Depends on your usage, if you are healthy and will only use it occasionally for basic things than gHIP makes most sense but if you any ongoing medical needs than go with Anthem PPO.

like

If you are single and never go to the doctor much gHIP is ideal to save, if you go to the doctor often plus you go to specialist appointments Anthem PPO is ideal. I’ve heard bad reviews about surest PPO but it’s cheaper then the previous plan

Thank you all very much !
:)

I love my Surest PPO

Really?? I’ve read horrible reviews

Any tips on how to improve lining thickness? My RE had me on Estrace for a week before starting Prometrium (vaginally) a few days ago, but my lining is only a little above 5mm. Looks likely that this FET cycle is going to get canceled (was potentially going to be this weekend) since the lining doesn’t seem to be thick enough. This will be the 3rd transfer cycle that’s getting canceled, it just really sucks...what’s worse is I didn’t see my doctor today, just the sono tech, (cont’d)

Once you’ve applied via referral link to a position, does it keep you in a referral pool or do you need to constantly get a new referral link if you apply to another role say 4 months later? Curious since they only last 30 days and i feel bad asking for a link a 3rd time now…..
