At PwC, our high deductible plan is best in generally all scenarios.

If I were you and assuming I had an HSA … and not knowing much about your plan. I’d do high deductible. Max my HSA. Set up a 3 year interest free payment plan with the hospital and initially pay that out of pocket. Then reimburse myself years in the future through my HSA funds that have grown and compounded untouched. That’s the pro move here.

Also, HSA has higher contribution limits when you add a kid.

Instinctively, I’d assume I should steer away from a HDHP next year. But I figure it’s more nuanced than that.

Each plan has a detailed fact sheet on what is and what is not covered, deductibles, etc. there is usually a table of contents so you can easily skip to the part that tells you about pregnancy care.

I have no context on Accenture’s specific plan, but be aware that a C section and associated 4-5 day stay can easily run $100k+, and if you have any complications every day in the NICU is $15-20k. Highly highly recommend eating the higher premium for a year in order to get the downside protection

Thanks for this. This is definitely the kind of surprise I want to avoid

Thanks y’all! I’ll look more into the plans and will probably come back here for more specific advice :)

Happy Friday. Just a reminder of a few things:

- ADHD is a disability, but it’s not the end of the world
- give yourself a break. Your brain needs it more than you realize
- medication is not a cure-all treatment. Medication + diet + exercise + self-organization is the key.
- ADHD causes us to feel emotions stronger than the average person.
- failure is inevitable, but so is success. Act accordingly, and be kind and fair to yourself
- life is hard, but that’s… wait, what was I saying? 😂😎❤️

Something about me is both a curse and a blessing - I can't ignore what is not clear, logical, aligned, and simple. Even if that means that I have to work several minutes or hours extra on a document or an email. Things bother me if they aren't as expected. Unless I understand something clearly, I can't let it go. This is what helped me excel at studies. At work, my obsession makes it hard for people around me. If people complain about me, should I just let it go or change my approach?
