Health Insurance

health insurance with HSA plan choice and another simpler plan choice

Having to manage my own HSA/PPO sucks - but the benefits are quite progressive and quite reasonable.

It covers major things - but since they switched to the CDHP/HSA plans a few years back, employees now don't go to see a doctor right when they need it, they wait till they get worse, spreading germs around the office.

BCBS - great health plan. Most doctors covered.

The best in the market

Health insurance is okay. Middle of the road. The hospital billed us $20k for our recent pregnancy, and health insurance capped our annual co-pay at $6000, and then payed $4000 of it, so we were only $2k out for some pretty major hospital time. I'm content with that. I have it far better than most of my fellow Americans.

Excellent Health insurance benefits and compensatio

It's an HSA, and it's great that Microsoft contributes to it. However, it was like a huge pay cut to trade off completely free and full healthcare coverage for an HSA that you have to contribute to in order to cover the medical costs that the health insurance no longer covers.

It was better before--the company instituted high deductibles that increased the cost. Other companies charge more, so it impacted long-term employees and those with big families rather than new ones.

MSFT used to offer the absolute best Health Insurance in the world - everything covered, 100%, no questions asked. Now it is a bit better than par for the tech industry. It is still the best out there but where they were winning by a mile now they are winning by inches.
