When does your health insurance start as an Air Traffic Controller?

Question

I have been given a preliminary assignment for an Air Traffic Controller position (Boston ARTCC). I still have to pass my medical, security, and psycological exam. I was wondering when does the insurance start because I have a disease that will not disqualify me from ATC work but will cause me financial distress if I have to pay for the medication without insurance?

Answer 1

it has nothing to do with your line of work but usually your coverage starts when you receive the paperwork and member id.. and u dont get coverage till wen you actually start the job and been hired

Answer 2

If you can't look at the paperwork they gave you, how ya gonna control air traffic ?
