[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 3710567, member: 49065"] What about the 100/200 dollar annual deductible that came with the last year of the 2013 contract, will we be paying that for the next five years? The short term disability in my area was 600 dollars before, with Team Care paying half and the company paying the difference. The improvement is that UPS does not have to cover the difference anymore. The continued medical coverage for the 26 weeks of short term disability is an improvement. My wife is a registered nurse who has worked in case management for major hospitals and insurance claims for one of the largest healthcare companies in the nation. I am going from her opinion that under Team Care is not the same as what we were under with the old Aetna plan before the 2013 contract. We are paying more on co-pays, annual deductibles and major medical. Again with the company paying Team Care as of 8/17/18 461.92 a week into each of our individual health care coverage which equals 24,024 annually, also at the end of this contract it will be at 29,224 annually per full time employee, the question should be asked if we are getting our monies worth with these improvements. Part timers are currently getting 295.57 a week going into just their Health and Welfare, which equals 15,444 annually going up to 17,004 at the end of this tentative. Is their coverages going to be inferior to the full timers and in what way? [/QUOTE]
