Health Insurance

Cost for individual was reasonable for PPO plan - no complaints

The choices were decent. The premiums were affordable for the entire family. BCBS, Aetna were the choices. Plans with easy reimbursements and no referrals as well. Vision coverage was acceptable. Dental coverage was reasonable.

Well priced and simple to choose.

Flexible benefits, so can choose several options.

PPO 80:20 coverage insurance with a $500 out of pocket.

Merck's health insurance is very good, allowing great flexibility for individual and family needs.

The health insurance pays for 80%, you pay 20%

For a pharma company I really expected the best insurance. It was top notch 3 years ago and now it is very frustrating. The cost to employee is reasonable but if you aren't a heavy user of health care, expect to pay most of your doctor bills yourself.

Good choices at reasonable premium

Monthly premium is low but deductible is $3500/yr and then coverage is only 80/20. I am contract and had wanted to become an employee but cannot afford this. My contracting firm offers better coverage than this!
