Re: Re: health coverage- For Donna

[Guest guest]

Kay For you business who did you go through to get the coverage? Do you have a phone number? What is your co pay for doctor visit? Hospital? Medicine? Any thing you could tell me would be great. I did sign up for the Conversion, but a cheaper plan would be better. Also for the business coverage did you already have the WLS and any other health issues? Did they make you take a physical exam? Thanks for any information. Take care, and thanks for looking out for me.

You do have to have two on the coverage at first to set up the business coverage- but once a month or two goes by you can just have coverage

for yourself and that amount is 184 for me when I drop hubby off mine. Just have to wait until hubby get on Union at his job he just started. They don't offer Kaiser there of course. My meds are covered still as well. I wonder if you didn't talk to an informed enough person on the Kaiser for small business groups? Just trying to look out for you.Kay> > My daughter had her surgery approx. 3 years ago - Kaiser in So. > SF.> >
