The second question everyone asks when they hear about the new ownership is: what will happen with my benefits?
The great news: no significant changes, and all changes are for the better.
- Your benefits through Blue Cross, MetLife, Aflac, Sturbridge, VSP and Unum are exactly the same. The only change is the group name and the group number. You should have already received new benefits cards. If your insurance card says "Management Decisions," email benefits{at}mdimedical.com and ask for a new card. Some carriers do not require a card; your SSN is enough. If you have any questions, Max at benefits{at}mdimedical.com can help.
- If you are on COBRA, those benefits are also the same.
- If you are in MDI Medical's housing, receiving a bonus, CEU reimbursement, or tuition reimbursement, everything is the same.
- The 401k is new and improved, but I'm saving that for the next blog.
Recently, a physical therapy assistant asked: "if everything stayed the same, why are you so busy all the time?" One of my biggest surprises is how much WORK was required to keep the status quo. But it's worth it.
