I recently joined Accenture - my SO is a PHD student and was on my insurance. The university wants to charge us 3K for their insurance since we can’t provide proof of insurance until the new benefits go through.

New benefits are supposed to be in effect but we enrollment has been delayed because Accenture lost my Domestic Partner tax form and I had to resubmit. The issue should be resolved by Friday but the school is charging us tomorrow without exception - do we have any recourse?

All insurance policies have a 30 day “free look”. Get a policy then cancel within 30 days.

I am so angry that we are going to waste 3K because of a mere matter of days due to internal BS.

If all you need insurance for is a stop gap / safety blanket then I’d purchase a cheap plan on the market place to cover you both until your Accenture coverage kicks in. It’ll be much cheaper probably about $300 a person for a month. I did this when I was in between jobs.

It takes effect the beginning of the following month, your current insurance should cover you until then. Typically all coverage lasts until the last of the month.

I'm confused. I've not heard of a school or employer of any type being able to force people to have insurance (only the federal government through Obama care tax penalties).

And they're saying they'll charge you 3k up front? I've also never seen premiums being due up front as a lump sum. If it's not a lump sum and you'd be paying monthly, your new insurance kicking in should qualify as a life events that enables you to change (or decline) existing benefits, or at least that's been the case for any insurance I've ever used.

Pretty common in the US - all students have to have a minimum level of health insurance to be enrolled just absolutely inconvenient that this happened right as she has to submit annual proof of insurance.

Hello everyone!

Currently looking to jump from Health Care to Pharma/Biotech. Does anyone work at Gilead and can serve as a reference? The current department I’m in, I do not fit the culture as it is a very archaic way of “managing” people. I have about a decade of a variety of work experience, majority in customer service/coordination/administration.

Would love any assistance if possible!

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
