Twice at work (fortunately, in different years), I dropped unopened cans of diet Pepsi that punctured and SPRAYED everywhere! Talk about embarrasing!

Especially the second time

I just received a very nice call from our medical insurance company. Instead of wanting something from me I was informed I was close to using up my allotted coverage and entering a higher pay amount from me. It is called a coverage gap or donut hole.

She also offered to do something that might reduce my copay on an expensive prescription next year.

Sorry about your roof leaking, DR Laura. We've had rain and thunderstorms the last few evenings/nights.

They are sending out a roofer. They are paying him, so I'm afraid he'll give them an answer they want to hear.

Vibes it is also the correct answer to fix the problem!

I had a consultation with the dentist today. Something looked suspicious on the x-rays we did recently and yes, there is now some dental work in my future.

Jeanne · « **Reply #112 on:** August 17, 2021, 05:02:54 PM »

Once home I tackled some phone calls I'd been dreading. Next week I'm scheduled for a procedure on my wonky eye and a Covid test is required 3 days in advance. i have absolutely no objection to having the test, but the scheduler, who has difficulty being pleasant, kept insisting that the test had to be done at a certain site, which is most inconvenient for me. There are Covid test sites all over these days; can I not go to one close by? Today I called the surgery center who, I was told, created this edict. I spoke to a very helpful nurse who told me exactly the opposite: the test can be taken anywhere. We went over other details, none of which the scheduler mentioned -- or, I suspect even knew. I'm very relieved, but also ANNOYED at being given incorrect information repeatedly.

Jeanne · « **Reply #113 on:** August 17, 2021, 05:06:28 PM »

I then called my primary care physician's office about having the test done there. The person I spoke to, who handles Covid questions, didn't even know what a PCR test was. She thought it was a blood test. Sigh. Then she said she'd have to talk to my doctor. My doctor is on vacation and out of the country. Then she said she needed a referral. At that point I hung up and started calling other places that do Covid testing.

Many pharmacies offer free Covid testing, but, from what I gather, cannot guarantee that you'll get the results quickly. Up to 7 days is what they often say. I need to be tested on Monday in order to have the procedure on the following Thursday. A number of places do this, but for a fee. After a few more calls I found a pharmacy that can guarantee results for $85. If I keep at it I might be able to get it done without a co-pay, but I've been given incorrect information so many times by Cedars that I simply don't trust them. I also now see why the inconvenient location was "recommended" -- they were deemed reliable.

Annoying but it might be best to go there. I am lucky my covid test is in the same building I will have my endoscopy, and it is conveniently located. The important thing is to get it someplace that will do it quickly, and the practice doing the procedure can access the test results.

WONKY EYE PROCEDURE VIBES FOR DR JEANNE!

Jeanne · « **Reply #118 on:** August 17, 2021, 05:23:13 PM »

The irony of all of this is it wasn't the surgical procedure that was the hang-up -- it was the Covid test, which should be a simple thing. I witnessed the same thing in computer science: we could do the difficult work. It was the admin where things went haywire.
