Employee Benefits
Employee Benefits
Im going through some new-hire benefit paperwork and am realizing just how out of touch with the insurance/business aspect of medicine I really am. Question for anyone that would know (Corey?), when looking at my Health Insurance options what the hell is the difference between "Domestic Network" and "McLaren Health Advantage Network". Im confused because Ill be working at McLaren Greater Lansing, which I would imagine is included in the "Health Advantage Network" but I dont see why it wouldnt be considered domestic for me. Not that any of this shit really matters, Ive been to a doctor once (broken wrist from football) since my childhood immunizations.

Re: Employee Benefits
my approach when it comes to health coverage was worst case scenario how much money am I out. Then I picked the plan that was very minimal, haha.

Re: Employee Benefits
Our VP of Revenue Management gave a presenation yesterday, pretty crazy stuff. The US spends something like more than twice as much than basically most or all other developed nations per person on healthcare, and we're not necessarily better at it than these other countries.
I think he used China or Japan as an example. In the US, we spends $4500 per year per person on healthcare. In Japan, they spend $1500, and yet our life expectancy is 78 and in Japan it's 81.
Weasel's fault!

Re: Employee Benefits
The doctor is confused by health insurance... is that irony or have we gotten to the point where everyone is confused by health insurance?
