So I got my official enrollment packet in the mail today for my work's insurance. It has a lot more info than the website had. Apparently they are making some changes this year. and for the better. The plan I can sign up for has an HRA (health reimbursement account). For a family, the company will set aside $1000. That $1000 will go towards medical expenses BEFORE we have to start paying our deductible. Although, it won't cover anything on prescriptions. However, we only have to pay co-pays on prescriptions, not the full price (even before our deductible is fully met). If we don't use up the full $1000 it will roll over to the next year. (but I'm sure we'll use it all) BUT it turns out, the insurance is going to cost a little more than I originally thought. Not a huge deal. I was looking at the different plans.. the BEST plan available has a $1500 deductible and costs $429 every 2 weeks. (that's for a family) That is INSANE!!!!!

"MD Junction has been a lifeline to me. The support and information I receive from group members is so important for me to maintain a good quality of life. I struggled with a diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency and did not know where to turn, but then I found MD and it has been one of the most important tools to help me to enjoy my life and stay as healthy as possible. We really are stronger together than we could ever be alone." (ITeach91)
