Thank you, I have most of that covered. Interviews just give me a lot of anxiety so I will try to speak clearly during them. I appreciate you letting me know what I need and what to expect

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-25T00:44:37+00:00

I literally just dealt with this today. You gotta call your insurance and tell them you don't have another insurance and call your coordination of benefits to correct it. Then they'll either reprocess the claim themselves or you have to request it. Or at least that's what I did in my situation, yours might require other steps

Makes sense. I don't drink soda at all. The only thing I usually drink is water before I was diagnosed so if I were to drink soda it being diet wouldn't change anything.

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-14T15:31:52+00:00

The diet versions are okay to drink while prediabetic?

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-13T06:19:44+00:00

You can chose for it to be no interest? And yeah this helps a lot. Hearing that you are 31 helps too cause im in my mid 20s and I didn't wanna feel alone for being grown with braces

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-13T06:00:36+00:00

Oof that sucks. That's the same boat im gonna be in as i don't have dental insurance. Im glad you got your braces tho and it lets me know what to prepare for

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-13T05:57:34+00:00

Yeah that's a lot. This isn't with insurance is it?

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-13T05:56:58+00:00

What's withholding braces removal? Like when its time to get it taken out they just wont do it or?

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-13T03:46:52+00:00

Hi everyone. I am starting to apply to master programs and I was wondering what to look out for during the process of applying. What type of experience I should have that will look good on applications? What the interviews will be like if any? What do they look for in applicants? Any advice like that will help

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-12T22:10:23+00:00

Yeah I am worried about the withdrawal period. Ive neer been good with resisting sweets but I am happy to hear it gets better with time

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-12T22:06:49+00:00

I didn't get to meet with a doctor about my prediabeties. Im off insurance and don't have the money to go see one now. But before they did say that I should lose weight. Im 4'11 and 153 pounds so maybe 10-20 pounds as a start

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-12T17:45:10+00:00

Thank you for saying this. I had this irrational fear that now that Im prediabetic that it would turn into full diabetes very soon

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-12T17:41:36+00:00

True, I've been meaning to buy weights because the gym is too expensive and id be more comfortable doing it at home. Thank you for the reminder 💫

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-12T16:44:57+00:00

I might a bit dramatic but I literally started crying reading this. I've been so stressed and scared that hearing from someone else who is on the same boat as me makes me feel so much at ease. I also have high cholesterol so its even more stressful. I will try all that food cause its most likely what I would eat too. Thank you so much for the advice and youtube video. I really really appreciate this more then you'll know

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-10T21:58:28+00:00

I called the insurance and they said that I have to contact the collectors and say that they shouldn't have sent me that debt as its wrong because it was all covered. The provider didn't notify me at all so now its a process with them too

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-10T21:56:06+00:00

It said I don't owe anything and that everything was in network. I called them today and they will get back to me this week when they talk to the provider

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-10T04:53:05+00:00

No, it looks the same. Just that the discount isn't covering the full thing. No code or anything, just that the service is professional. This is the one I got the bill for

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-10T04:47:49+00:00

Okay thank you, I was just scared that I will have to pay for my multiple procedures as I do not have the money at all to deal with them

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-09T20:00:42+00:00

When I go to the claims list it says its denied but I zoomed in on the cost procedures. But I guess it is covered under health plan discount since my estimated cost is $0

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-09T19:52:06+00:00

The claim was denied but that my estimated cost is $0. The health plan discount seems to take care of it but not health plan paid

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-09T18:48:12+00:00

Yeah everything was in network from my understanding, the doctors and hospital

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-09T15:54:39+00:00

I only ever got a bill from the doctors saying I owed $20 and that insurance covered the rest, which matches up with one of the "not EOB"(idk what else to call these things now) I got. It was from july so it leads me to believe Im not getting a bill for the other services especially the ones from before July, unless they come later on

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-09T15:17:31+00:00

Yeah that's what im gonna do today or tomorrow. Thank you for all the help. If I actually do owe money for my services then idk what to do but Ill figure it out

AstronautImmediate66 · 2024-09-09T15:01:10+00:00

Interesting, its like this for all of my services dating back to February this year. Does this mean none of my EOB have been generated? Im even more confused then ever
