I’ve been with Humana for over three years. Two of which I’ve been undergoing treatment for my cancer. The fact that an insurance company doesn’t have sick days is incredibly concerning. Having to wait 5 days to be out to be considered for short term disability should be illegal!!!

Sorry you're going through this, OP.

Frankly, the whole insurance industry is so craven, this doesn't surprise me all that much. 🫠

I’m so surprised. I used to work at AIG and the benefits were phenomenal. Much better than my benefits at the bulge bracket bank I’m at now. I actually thought insurance companies had the best benefits so I’m very surprised.

I am very sorry about out what you are going through. 🤗

Awful. When I was unwell I had 1-month full pay, 1-month half pay, then indefinite unpaid sick leave. The allowance would have doubled if I had been working at the hospital for an extra year. Just did one, fresh out of medical school. Sorry you had to go through that. Healthcare, sick pay, employee protections should be enshrined

I’m so sorry you’re going through cancer treatment. I’ve been there-
That does sound illegal. Hope you have all your paperwork in so that you can start your leave soon. Sending positive energy and healing vibes. Stay strong. You got this 💪🏼

I'm so sorry to hear about your health. Sending positive thoughts your way.
Its much worse at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois/HCSC. You have to wait for 7 days and also go through hoops to get the short term approved.
