Health Insurance

To cover only employee it cost nothing which is the best part of it.

Industry leading plans and options for employee and dependents. Great place to work and the Benefits reflect that.

They have the standard set of: * PPO with low premiums, high deductible and an HSA * Aetna * Kaiser HMO

Best options I've ever had and the "employer paid" amount is amazing!

At VMware we are proud to offer a comprehensive program of medical benefits. Our plans ensure you have the choice and flexibility you need to make smart and cost-effective healthcare decisions. All medical plans include prescription drug coverage and in-network preventive care services. Two of our plans are available to all benefit eligible employees, while the third is offered to benefit eligible employees residing in Northern California. HSA PPO Traditional PPO Kaiser HMO (N. CA Only) Our two PPO plans are administered by Aetna via the same Aetna Choice Plus II network. Both the HSA PPO and the Traditional PPO plans have the same network of doctors and hospitals. Both have co-pays when seeing a doctor and co-insurance when filling a prescription. What is different about the two PPO plans is how they pay; the deductible is higher in the HSA PPO plan which qualifies it for a Health Savings Account or HSA plan. Also, the HSA PPO plan has a quarterly VMware funding to your HSA that helps cover the higher deductible. With the Kaiser HMO plan, you are restricted to using providers within the HMO network and the plan requires that you select a Primary Care Physician (PCP) to coordinate all your health care needs, including arranging for hospitalization and referrals to specialists.

Best: covers employee 100%. Worst: Not many plan provider options.

Plenty of options available to fit your budget or needs. They currently use Aetna and I purchased the PPO. I have not regretted that decision.

as stated in comments - last years was 5 star, this year the prescription benefits and deductibles on the high plan became very expensive

The health insurance choices are fairly high quality big name insurers, with spouse and/or family benefits, dental benefits.
