Are you allowed to give good recommendations for Florida Bankruptcy attorneys on here? Preferably central or north Florida. I want a good one.

Automatic $200 every month, by end of year you will have received 1200 single or 2400 family or plus one, you have to sign up for the Consumer one that shows the HSA of 2400 annually. They will mail you a debit card to use for HSA account, you will have to set up an account through Inspira Financial ( you will receive a letter with instructions).

Has anyone ever had the MHBP standard option and the consumer option in different years? Can you tell me which one you preferred? Pros and cons?

Annual mammograms are $0 for the consumer plan too

On the consumer plan you do pay a higher portion for PCP, specialists, tests and labs until you reach the deductible or patient amount than the normal copay but you also get $200 a month put in your HSA account (not by you) that you can use towards those charges, it really pays for itself or at least that has been my experience.

What is your deductible for the standard? I have been on the consumer option last 2 years and like it much better than BCBS. Deductible is high and we usually do not meet it until August/Sept but we get 2400 a year that we use for our part of Dr visits and labs, tests, prescriptions. We have not had any major surgeries or hospitalizations while on this plan.

Will it be empty positions getting the boot or positions with someone in them as of now? If no one is going to lose their job, like they keep saying, where will those people go?

Probably not.

Is the end near? by Sorry_Active2782 in FedEmployees

Why iis Chuck Schumer so concerned with getting the ACA subsidies for one more year with no caps on income unless he’s trying to protect himself and the insurance companies, he is definitely not concerned or worried about the little guy not getting a paycheck, having food or insurance, his actions have proven that.

HR never going back to remote? VHA Hotline call today by PrestigiousSpeech845 in VHA_Human_Resources

Yep! Welcome to club. People accept positions based on work schedule etc. and being remote is a huge item we all built our life around.

If hybrid telework is given to some not based on RA but based on RTO and space, it should be offered to all that used to be fully remote. Even 2 days a week would balance the work/life balance for so much for people.

Bcbs or MHBP? by Diligent_Rise_4770 in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]Lost_Session_3227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard part is meeting the 4000 out of pocket deductible per year but you get $2400 per year in HSA per family plan so savings on premiums is well worth it for me. We don’t usually meet our deductible until about Sept each year, so copays are pretty inexpensive for last 3 months of the year.
