How is the health insurance coverage in big pharma? BCG has set a high bar but I’m sure other industries also have similar coverage?

what's a "high bar"? There're high deductible and HMO options but hard to compare the details

like

Yeah it's not going to be quite comparable for most cos but it will be okay like 10-20 dollar copay for pcp, 30 for specialists. Couple hundred for hospitalization etc

like

I only have a $5 copay

No monthly contribution

Nope. BCG insurance, and benefits in general, are next level. Most industry jobs you have to pay a premium and/or deductible.

Need help on how to invest. We are positioned to pay off our house later this year. Expect to work for another ~20 years. 401k fully funded and have some company stock investments maturing over the next few years, but no investments outside of that. Kids have a prepaid college plan for certain schools. Emergency fund is solid. Where should I look to start investing? I have fidelity for my 401k, would they be good to open a taxable investment account with, or are there better options?

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!
