Health Care Benefits Lacking - Anonymous employee RealPage Employee Review

The premium, top of the line health care option was removed in 2016. As a person with a long term health issue, this has cost me an unbelievable amount of money this year. I went from a co-pay program with a fair deductible and reasonable out of pocket limit to a 33% higher deductible, a 33% higher out of pocket and a 20% total invoice copay instead of low flat copay amounts. I could easily manage my health care and my illness on the 2014 and 2015 programs. The reduced plan I was forced to take for 2016 has cost me more money than my salary increase from last year, so in essence, my income is diminishing this year instead of increasing. I have come to the point where I am refusing to complete needed medical tests that my doctor wants to perform because I cannot afford the increased payment requirement with my reduced health care plan. I can only hope that skipping these early detection tests does not end up costing me and the company more in the long run if my health deteriorates due to my need to delay these tests until I can afford my 20% portion. It shocks me that a company of over 4000 associates has a healthcare plan that does not compare well with other companies of our size. I am also shocked at how the options drastically changed in a one-year period. RealPage is a good place to work, however, if you are considering joining the company and you or your family have any health issues, be sure to look at the health care plan closely and compare with other offers before joining RealPage. Other SaaS companies may have better plans that will more positively impact your annual income.
