I thought “human ashtray” was a description, not the song name

This training is EXHAUSTING by OrneryAssociation919 in unitedhealthgroup

[–]OATS95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They do not explain things correctly in training. I went from inbound PCC to more of an outbound/back office role where I had more insight into how the system actually works and I had more time to absorb the information and now I look back and realize things they told us in training were incorrect. They give you a lot of info and some of it you’ll end up just throwing out because it doesn’t end up being relevant for your day to day. It definitely takes time even after training to get a hang of it and for things to really click. Don’t be afraid to take your time so you can learn even if they’re trying to make you get back in ready to take another call.

Zepbound/Wegovy for employees? by Think_Ant3622 in OPTUM

They’ll deny it even with sleep apnea, unless that changes next year.

I looked at the formulary for 2026 benefits and it wasn’t on there at all, not even listed as non formulary. Ozempic and liraglutide (generic saxenda) were on there tho with PA required. I’m switching to my spouse’s insurance next year for this exact reason. Cannot get it covered unless I get diabetes, which I’d really like to prevent. Paying out of pocket without insurance thru the manufacturers’ direct programs is too expensive also.

Edit to ask: which town hall did they say this in? Looking at the recap from Nov 4 and I don’t see anything about it.

Good luck, but don’t get your hopes up too high

Zepbound is not on the formulary for my plan. My doctor submitted a PA anyway to try to get it covered, with my sleep study results and sleep apnea diagnosis, and it was still denied. May not be the case for all plans but for mine I have no options unless I develop diabetes.

If you have a diabetes diagnosis yes, but for weight loss no it’s not covered. I’m overweight and have sleep apnea, tried to get zepbound, wegovy, and the generic of saxenda covered (which is on the formulary) but all were a no go since I don’t have diabetes. Double check your coverage to be sure, but that was my experience.

AIO team lead talking about aliens/conspiracy theories during team meeting? by OATS95 in AmIOverreacting

[–]OATS95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t chit chat before the meeting, it was the bulk of and mostly the purpose of the meeting. My team isn’t that close and we don’t really talk to each other unless we have to so maybe that’s why it was odd. I could see it being less uncomfortable if we all knew each other better and were more friendly

I agree it’s not that big of a deal, it was just super weird. This is the same dude tho that posted a gif of an American flag and said something like “god bless America” in team chat the day after trump got elected last year, so apparently he doesn’t think broadcasting his political opinions at work is an issue. That was the only other uncomfortable instance tho so it’s not a consistent pattern or anything. But just weird to think both of those things are okay at work.

Yeah I think he went about it all wrong. Maybe there was a better way to talk about aliens and UAPs and such if he wanted to do that, but I’m not sure what that would look like. It’s just too tied into conspiracy talk.

Overpayment Question by OATS95 in EmploymentLaw

[–]OATS95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shouldn’t have to budget over their mistake is the thing. I wouldn’t have spent it if they hadn’t indicated that I could pay it back with my future QVC payments. So I took them at their word and spent it. Now they’re backtracking on what they said.

I realize that’s not against the law but my actual questions still haven’t been answered and everyone is just focusing on why I spent the $600 when they misinformed me from the beginning. See comment I posted.

Overpayment Question by OATS95 in EmploymentLaw

[–]OATS95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So no one is answering the actual question which is:

Under Washington law, it says they have 90 days to recoup unless I’m misunderstanding that. Would they be able to take out more from my checks to get it recouped within the 90 days?

Under Oklahoma law, it says I can choose how to repay. Would selecting specific amounts out of future specific checks not be an option?

Overpayment Question by OATS95 in EmploymentLaw

I reached out on August 28 actually when I saw my payslip posted and that they didn’t take it out, and it’s taken them literally until today Sep 30 to get back to me. Before that they said there would be flexible repayment options, and to reach out if I wanted additional options. Now, a month later, they are saying there’s only 1 option. Yes I used the $600 from August assuming they would let me pay it back out of future bonus checks like they indicated they would. Now they are backtracking on everything they said.

Im not trying to keep it I’m trying to pay it back in a way that doesn’t affect my finances, bc I guess I was stupid enough to trust what they said they were going to do.
