Health Insurance

Banner is pretty much a monopoly when it comes to health care and hospitals in the Phoenix area. The medical premiums are extremely high for a company this size. Large corporations have generally been known to take care of their employees but Banner could truly care less about their employees when it comes to medical coverage. Banner is self insured meaning they do what they want and they keep raising premiums and co-pays every year. $25 for PCP & $50 for specialist. I looked at an EOB for my visit to a specialist and after my $50 co-pay Banner only paid $12.67 I damn near paid for the whole visit! Prescriptions are $10 co-pay which is decent but their pharmacy network doesn't include CVS. What? Banner is crap and their employees are generally not happy.
