Lets say $100 was my co-pay before the insurance change. Now say my medicine is $1,000 - the new insurance is asking me to pay the $1,000 because it's below my deductible (and thru express-scripts). It's ridiculous.

I fucking hate ExpressScripts! They keep denying my approval for a specific medication, and refusing to cover it...my insurance at EY with $5 prescription co-pay is the biggest thing I miss

Next town hall we should ask why the firm continually shifts the cost of health insurance from them (the employer) to the employee every year, but doesn't increase the amount contributed to HSA or the high deductible costs.

I do use express scripts. But as OP just wrote, yeah it's still gonna cost more than the old copay.

@P1 do you use ExpressScripts? It can save you some serious money (and will ship 3 months of most meds).

Oh yeah and express script staff ... they messed up this one prescription and I got email asking for the same info over and over from the doc and they kept sending it. I eventually cancelled it and went to a pharmacy - the kind in a building. Express script phone people sound like hillbillies who are chain smoking btw. One sounded like a really nice lady 😂 I have to admit

Also GoodRx will save your life.

Pregnant wife is having small portion meals lately, so i asked why she is eating less than usual. She read somewhere that eating too much can lead to oversized baby, making the delivery more painful, so it looks like she may be controlling the portion because of this. Is not eating enough a cause for concern?

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?

Hi all! Currently in the process of a career pivot and had a question. My current company wants me to come back for a two week project in August. Is this too big of an ask on a new employer if I request unpaid leave for this time? I had asked them about delaying start date until this project is over but it was too far away, and I’ll start this month instead but haven’t yet. I don’t want to leave or start on a bad note so wondering if it’s even worth bringing up. Thanks!

I went from making $70k the last 7 years to now started a new job a month ago making $130k plus $10k bonus every year, and $60k in RSUs. I have $70k in my 401k and around $50k in savings. Want to get out of the Silicon Valley which has been home my whole life and buy in TX or AZ a ~$400k house. I have about $20k in student loans which my dad has offered to pay (wants to make up for never supporting me) but I’m waiting to see what Biden decides for student loans. Is this feasible?

Do we know if there is a sponsoring partner that oversees this benefit/ program that I could have more of a heart to heart conversation with?

However, anything related to IVF or medical procedures has to go through insurance (also limited to $50k lifetime benefit). Continued…
