Breaking Bad Habits

After securing full-time employment at a large tourist attraction, Erin decided on making a permanent move to the Florida area. For Erin, the actual move itself entailed nothing more than packing up her SUV with clothing and a few favorite items. She planned to buy furniture and home goods upon her arrival. Erin knew that this would be just one of the many post-move details she would have to attend to. The setting up of her apartment would involve many components apart from furniture and household items. It would also include choosing cell and internet service. She would be responsible for selecting a television provider and she would be paying her own utilities there as well. She already had complete coverage on the car she drove but she needed to update her policy with her new address. She also needed to get a new driver’s license, complete with new address. Fortunately for her, she did not have to pursue her own
Orlando health insurance rate plans. Her growing, successful company provided Orlando group health insurance to all its full-time employees. This was one of the many perks her new job held for her. In fact, the more she understood her policy, the happier she was with her coverage.

Erin’s policy provided basic coverage for doctor and hospital visits but she also was covered for some services which fall under the heading of preventative care. Specifically, Erin was excited to learn she would be covered for mammogram screenings. With a history of breast cancer in her family, Erin knew regular mammograms were a necessary part of her care plan. Had they not been a provided service, she would have elected to pay for them with money she earned. She felt grateful to have this kind of care available.

Erin had been taking a pricey cholesterol drug for the past two years and was thrilled to discover that her coverage included a very affordable prescription drug plan. There had been a couple months over the last year when she had been unable to purchase her medication, due to its cost and her lack of funds. Having a very reasonable co-pay plan on prescription drug coverage would enable her to manage her high cholesterol as needed.

Erin was also glad her coverage included dental and optical services. She knew the importance of regular dental check-ups and planned on going twice a year, as her coverage allowed. Additionally, while her eye-sight remained twenty-twenty, she also planned on taking advantage of the allowable yearly eye examination.

Erin knew that she was very fortunate to be working for a company that offered such comprehensive coverage. Not only did her policy include the basic coverage of doctor and hospital services, but a true plethora of added services as well. Having low co-pays and deductibles on such things as mammogram screenings and other preventative care screenings, having access to affordable prescriptions, and being able to benefit from low out of pocket dental and vision services, made Erin truly thankful for all her employer coverage brought to her life.
