Hello,

I would like to find out how much an employee pays on premium for Health Insurance through an employer for full family (Member + Spouse + Child/ren) coverage.

I understand the rates will vary based on your specific plan selection; however, I am not really looking for much details. I just want to know how much regardless of the specifics of the plan.

I am paying approximately 800 per quarter for full family coverage here in NYC; however, I expect that this amount would most likely double or triple in Raleigh.

Thanks

Full family coverage (medical only) through my employer is $232/month, assuming that only one parent has access to employer-based coverage. If there is a working spouse with access to coverage, the premium increases to $332/month.

At my previous employer, standard full family coverage (medical+vision) is $288/month this year. A premium plan with lower deductibles/co-pays is available for $473/month, and a high-deductible/HSA plan is available for $274/month. For that last plan, the employer contributes $1,000/year to the HSA. The spousal surcharge is $40/month for this employer.

FWIW, both of these companies are known for having fairly generous benefits packages.

What are your co-pays, deductables, max out of pocket liability, prescription coverage, etc ? How much does your employer kick in? Does that include dental and vision? There are still a lot of variables that affect the premium you pay, to make comparisons difficult.

I get paid every two weeks, but it works out to just over $1300 per quarter for family medical coverage (dental and vision are separate).

Many employers have the info on rates and coverage available on their web site. Here is one for Duke (which is not the one I have)

My employer offers two plans - standard and premium. (This is health insurance only - dental and vision are separate.)

For the standard plan, monthly employee contributions are $40 for employee only, $140 for employee + one dependent, or $210 for employee + family.

For the premium plan, the rates are $192, $456 and $700.

I'm paying about $250 a month for a pretty darn good plan, for a family of four. Why would you think it would be more expensive down here?

Just to throw out some contrast...if I needed a family plan it would be close to $1,000 per month - as a single person I pay $320/month. Yeah. It's AWFUL. That's medical only. I considered going with the ACA but am just trying to find a new job (not just for that reason).

I suspect lb27608 and I work at the same place, as my payment is the same ($232/month). My previous job, located in Durham, was nearly $1000/month for family coverage.

We must all be coworkers, because mine is right around that.

LOL.

Not including vision and dental. Add those in (along with life/disability) and it's closer to 400.

$231.28 here, + my contributions to HSA and life/dental/etc. Based on your previous comments I know I work where your husband does
