Erika replied to Erika's discussion 'Old job vs (potential) new job health insurance dilemma!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users

A new individual plan would cost $708 a month, $1000 deductible and 80/20. That's half my current monthly paycheck and I don't think a small business is going to pay me enough to compensate for that. I'm going to have to turn it down…

Erika that's a tough decision. I guess it depends on how far/much you want to gamble. Your future or your health? Very tough. If you love the work you do now, then stick with it. But, if you decide long term good health is your goal then do not…

I have no problem with not using a broker. I know that a broker will work harder for you than a captive agent because captive agents will only try to push their company. In my experience you still need to educate them on your specific situation. I…

This is a tough one. I'd love to tell you to take the job, but without coverage I can't, in good conscience, say that. I have a job with no benefits, but my wife works full time and has an awesome benefits package which covers me as well.…

No humana and United healthcare and cigna and others will sell individual plan but you may not qualified to to the diabetes. If you go online and do a search for individual health care. Be prepared to have a whole bunch of agents call you. If you go…

Is blue cross blue shield the only insurance company that sells individual plans?

Diego replied to Erika's discussion 'Old job vs (potential) new job health insurance dilemma!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users

This is a huge dilemma. I used to sell insurance so I have a little experience in this. You have diabetes and are on insulin, odds are you can not get individual health insurance. You will need a group plan or a state sponsored (pre-existing)…

In that case, it could be challenging. You probably don't qualify for Medicaid. Not sure if your insurance counts as "group coverage." If you don't qualify for group coverage (or COBRA), your state does have a high risk insurance…

I am 30 and live in NC. I know about COBRA coverage, but I believe that's $450+ per month. Pretty expensive. Spouse only works part time and no health coverage there. His parents buy his health insurance/meds/co-pays. I am what the university…

How old are you and which state do you live in? COBRA might be an option, although it can be pretty expensive.

Old job vs (potential) new job health insurance dilemma!

On Friday I was practically offered this great new job in an industry I'd rather work in, with people I'd rather work for/with. I was "recruited" by a friend of close friend. They are also very tight friends. The job is an amazing opportunity to get experience doing what I wanted to be doing, most jobs I want require more industry (marketing) experience - I just work at a university right now doing similar work but it's not my main job. I really want to take this job, really bad. I'd be working…See More

I have an Imac running Mac OSX 10.6 and when trying to connect the pdm to the mac I have had it crash the pdm resulting in needing a new pod and reentering all the settings in the pdm. I gave up and just purchased a cheap windows laptop. I think it…

Yes, I have the MM CGMS, not dex. I typically get about 2 weeks out of my sensors, however I do tend to get many to last longer. The one I have now has just gone through it's third week and I just recharged and about to start week 4. It is so nice having the pump be the receiver. Good luck in switching.
