KPMG - what health plan would you choose if you had a baby due early next year?

Not at KPMG but get a PPO/POS product - better to pay more in premiums and have a known cost of coverage vs a high deductible plan with lower costs but potentially high out of pocket expenses.

Choose the plan with the highest maternity coinsurance (ex 80-100%) for maternity related features, lower copayments on hospital stays, etc.

In general PPOs are the richest plans unless you live in an area with an HMO network (California and the west)

Map it out - you might be surprised. I have three kids and the cheapest plan is best for us with low or high expenses. There are small windows in the middle where each of the other plans make sense. The premiums are so much higher on the top plan I can max out my HSA and still come out ahead in most cases.

If your due date is early in the year it probably tilts towards the ppo option

We had a baby on the high deductible plan and it was pretty painless. We contributed to our HSA and PwC contributed some too and that covered everything out of pocket. Depends on your plan but I wouldn’t discount the high deductible off the bat

I’ve been on the same dose of Vyvanse since fall 2019. It still works. I notice a difference when I don’t take it. But I think I miss the rush I used to get when I would feel my meds kick in — like I could handle anything and I knew my meds were working. That plus the hyper focus that was still within my control (not the time blindness hyper focus where you fixate). Does anyone still get that? Is it worth trying to change my meds? Or is this just what it feels like to be “normal” now?

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

I know most of the time it’s cause they are being nosy.

How much handholding is enough in consulting?

One is doing fine but the other is lagging, I have a ton of things to do on top of 'training' them to get them to a good place.

I've tried to do as much handholding as I can, but I'm wondering how much is enough.
