Health Insurance

This is the best health insurance I've ever had. I have no deductible and low co-pays for my medical, dental and vision insurance through Kaiser. Cigna is a bit more, but still really great. Any kind of out-patient surgery is 100%, including gender reassignment surgery. Vision insurance is through VSP and dental is through Delta Dental, both of which have excellent coverage,

They have Stanford health clinics on campus and a dental facility so employees can maintain their health and not miss a beat of work.

Nice comprehensive plan lots of options available as well

Free or tiny fee for PPO

Choice of 3 providers and type of coverage.

If stuck in a group with polarizing priorities then glass ceiling is inevitable. May be that is the same with any enterprise. Creativity and assertiveness may pave the way. Most of the time if major shake-up is on its way, it could hit you like lightning. I've gone through 3 lay-off and rehire before the termination date. No complaint - every time it is a wake-up call to reality and psych up my survival skill.

great plan, very generous program

No co-pay for seeing family doctor and OB. Child birth is all covered you don't have to pay out of your pocket.

HSA, HMO or PPO for employee, spouse, domestic partner and family
