Thinking ahead for next year
With the Pathway to Parenthood program which insurance provider have you used (Anthem BCBS or UHC) ?

Hello guys,
I'm currently full-time and all the "contract" hiring type is new for me.

Could please anyone help me with:

1- How to calculate an hour rate that covers all the benefits that a contract doesn't covers, like extended health insurance?
2- How do you pay CPP, and all the other expenses that company discount from your salary when you're full-time?
3- is it legal that company requires a mandatory schedule, when you're in "contract"?

This is for a Business Analyst position.
Thanks!

What’s the consensus on tattoos in the insurance workplace? I’m in leadership and considering exploring my options due to recent personnel changes. I work remote and have arm sleeves, and any time I would be in-person I’d of course wear a long sleeve shirt to be professional, but worry about a cuff rolling up and tattoos being somewhat visible. Nothing is offensive by any means.

Do you think if Covid cases will increase after the spring break is over?

I have ADHD and executive dysfunction, resulting in horrid eating habits my whole life. My body just doesn’t tell me it is hungry and pre-pregnancy, I could go days without eating. My husband is the same way. I am panicked about staying on top of baby feedings and noticing patterns. The Pocket Nanny tracker where you press the button of the feed, diaper change, etc, seems to be popular but doesn’t log it anywhere. Has anyone heard of these and have a recommendation for one that logs as well?

I’m pretty sure I have black mold in my apartment. Does any one have any suggestions? I think it’s impacting my health. Thanks in advance.

Took my first round of Clomid 50 mg this month and learned today that my progesterone levels are low and I likely I didn’t ovulate. I feel discouraged. Been ttc for 10 months now and I learned recently that Im not ovulating. I didnt think It would be hard getting pregnant as I had regular cycles before covid. Anyone had luck ovulating and conceiving with an increased dosage of clomid? Looking for encouragement and success stories to lift my spirits

Thoughts on working for healthcare clients? Is it a dead end?

I saw a great thread online about a Black physician who saved the day when a patient came in for an urgent MRI, but had metal pins in her wig so none of the white nurses or doctors could get it off. Black Physician rushed in with some alcohol and got it off in no time. We are crucial to the healthcare field for so many reasons, remember that!

Looking for advice for interviewing at Amazon for a senior machine learning engineer position. I have worked at startups for my career (which I am relatively early in), and have not interviewed with a FAANG company before so I don’t know what to expect going in to this. Any advice would be appreciated!

For a Rule 45 subpoena duces tecum, can I mail it to the stat agent for a company or LLC? I took a case over from another firm and they sent subpoenas with a process server who was unable to personally deliver the subpoenas to the stat agent. I have always just mailed them.

Has anyone had any issues getting a response back from pathways. They are not responding to my emails when I ask for assistance.

Ordering Limerick breast pump accessories.
Wondering how much of each item I should order. Not sure what item I would need the most or more than another. Don’t want to undercut myself nor go overboard. Would lactation consultant help with the quantity of each accessory I would need ?

Are we absolutely unable to get a pump that is not the Limerick one?

Whats the process of enrolling in this? Anyone did it recently?

Does this benefit cover procedures such as freezing eggs?

I have BCBS and have been having a hard time getting everything approved and set up. This process was much smoother when I went through it the first time in 2018. Anyone else’s having these issues? Is Win Fertility still the place that handles it?

Welcome! Let's help each other out with any questions or experiences about our own Pathways to Parenthood via IVF, adoption, surrogacy, IUI, etc! ☺

Hi - I have never used this. I’m planning to schedule fertility test. Would this programs offer me any benefits?

Thanks in Advance!

As a Male how does this benefit work ? Wife has benefit from her employer as well. What can i use my benefit for?

We are just starting out on our adoption journey and have sent in some initial bills from our adoption attorney to the Pathways email address. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to hear back from that inbox? It's been about a week so far.

I am wanting to start the adoption process. I reached out to pathways to parenthood for information first from my personal email. I got a response within 30 min asking me to email them back from my work email. I did so and it has now been 3 days with no response. Is there any other way of contacting them?

Does anyone know if we can reimburse expenses for items listed in Wageworks while on maternity?

I know we cannot expense phone/internet/ commuter benefit as I am not actively doing work.

However, for other items that fall under wage works reimbursement, I couldn’t find anything in writing yet.

Fo getting the reimbursement what is the process? Just submit normally through insurance? FAQ says participate in managed fertility program. What does that mean?

I am in the process of IVF due to my husband's male factor infertility. I am so grateful for the benefits that EY provides and wanted to know if there is any consideration for reevaluating those benefits? We know that IVF is incredibly expensive and for some of us, having children is a top priority. Does anyone know where or how we can petition for enhanced or shared benefits? I have ideas.

Is the EY 16 week maternity pay 100% of the salary ? I was reading the FAQs and could not find anything that said 100 % of pag provided in the 16 weeks of eligible time off.

I have been finding a number of providers that are in-network (UHC) but the surgery centers are out of network and I was told that I have to use in-network. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I'm not seeing how much use the benefit is when the most expensive part is out of network.

About a year into our infertility journey and considering switching from my husband's company's benefits to EY's to take advantage of the 50K lifetime benefit. I know I would need to switch to EY coverage, but does my husband also haveto be on EY's insurance to have IVF costs fully reimbursed?

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? Not getting too far with the general email box and admin contact. From the benefit policy documentation, my understanding is that EY reimburses employees for surrogacy / adoption related expenses up to $50k lifetime. However, anything related to IVF or medical procedures has to go through insurance (also limited to $50k lifetime benefit). Continued…
