Accenture Freshers/Seniors: Need Suggestions Regarding Medical Insurance & Surgery
Hi everyone,
I recently got selected at Accenture as an AASE Engineer through off-campus hiring as a fresher. Currently, I’m undergoing the primers/training phase before onboarding.
I have a spine surgery scheduled for next week, and I’m confused about whether I should undergo the surgery now or wait until after officially joining Accenture so that I might get medical insurance coverage/benefits from the company.
The doctors said I would need to stay admitted in the hospital for around 1 week, and after recovery I should be able to return to normal activities and continue my work.
I wanted to ask seniors or people currently working at Accenture:
Does Accenture insurance cover pre-existing conditions or surgeries like this for freshers?
How long does it usually take for insurance benefits to become active after joining?
Would postponing the surgery be risky from a company/medical perspective?
If I undergo surgery now, would it affect onboarding/training in any way?
Has anyone faced a similar situation during onboarding/training?
I know health should be the first priority, but I also want to make a financially practical decision since surgery costs are high.
Any genuine suggestions or experiences would really help. Thanks in advance.
