Re: New insurance: UHC or Aetna?

I would definitely call the HR department and explain your needs and have

them suggest the best plan for you. I know each company has different levels

of coverage and some of it is dependent on what the company wants.

Subject: [ ] New insurance: UHC or Aetna?

Hello all - I have started a new job and have two choices for my family's

new health insurance: United Health Care (UHC choice Plus) or Aetna Choice

POS. I've had UHC in the past and had very little luck getting my daughter's

speech therapy covered, so I'm leaning towards Aetna (the devil you don't

know, I guess. ) Wondering if anyone has experience or thoughts on which

of these two would be a better choice.

thanks!

Ellen we have UHC and it has been pretty good, but I think it would depend on

diagnosis. They cover oral motor (let me know if you want the codes we use) as

an unspecified feeding disorder and dysarthia and dyspraxia. They do cover

speech and OT/PT for us, but they fall under the autism exception. If you do

not have an austism spectrum diagnosis, speech coverage may be harder.

Great timing! I have UHC and they have not covered my daughter's speech

therapy, much to my dismay. I work for the large corporation, so have tried to

educate the HR department on why this should be covered. We are switching to

Aetna in January and am told I shouldn't be optimistic about them covering

either. Any inside tips would be appreciated. My daughter's diagnosis is mild

apraxia.
