Posted: Thu May 29, 2003 12:46 pm
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 get to Bud's 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 cheaper HMO:
1. You ask for Viagra; you get a Popsicle stick & duct tape.
