I am so very jealous of your premiums</p> <p>We pay close to $600 a month, and DH is a government employee. I seriously thought we'd be handed health insurance on a silver platter, but that's certainly not the case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/health-insurance-premium-out-of-pocket-during-leave#post-129645 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 10:58:46 +0000 Mrsbells 129645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah everyone I know pays less than $100 a month. Mine is just way too high! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/health-insurance-premium-out-of-pocket-during-leave#post-129625 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 10:43:38 +0000 mamabolt 129625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My insurance costs are $40 a month (though I guess it will increase when I add LO) and I'll have to pay that during my unpaid leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/health-insurance-premium-out-of-pocket-during-leave#post-129594 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 10:32:23 +0000 Goldilocks1107 129594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily, I have enough vacation and sick time available that I can space out my unpaid time. If I did have to pay OOP, I think I pay $38 every paycheck, so $76 per month? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/health-insurance-premium-out-of-pocket-during-leave#post-129590 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 10:30:06 +0000 Mrsbells 129590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For all the mamas who wont be getting paid during their maternity leave, did you have to leave a check to cover your contribution to your health insurance premium?<br /> I have to send in a check to my HR department its like $180 a month... that seems so much for health insurance, especially since I'm not getting paid during my time off.<br /> They charge us so much for health insurance at this job, its ridiculous! DH just started a new job and I cant wait to be put on his insurance as a family plan. How muh did you have to pay while on maternity leave? </p>
