"Employer Changed HMO"

"Employer Changed HMO"

The Top Ten Indicators that your employer has changed to a cheaper HMO:

10. Your annual breast exam is done at Hooters.

9. Directions to your doctor's office include: "Take a left when you enter the trailer park."

8. The tongue depressors taste faintly of Fudgesicles.

7. The only proctologist in the plan is "Gus" from Roto-Rooter.

6. The only item listed under Preventative Care Coverage, is "an apple a day."

5. Your primary care physician is wearing the pants you gave to Goodwill last month.

4. The guideline that reads "The patient is responsible for 200% of out-of-network-charges" is not a typo.

3. The only expense that is covered 100% - is embalming.

2. With your last HMO, your Prozac didn't come in different colors with little M's on them.

And the number One sign that you've joined a cheap HMO:

1. You ask for Viagra, and you get a Popsicle stick & duct tape.
