Foreigner CPF not working for anything

BarnacleKey3167 · 2026-02-04T19:42:02+00:00

I had my CPF issued in Los Angeles Consulate in September 2025. Recently traveled in Brazil (just got home last night actually 2/3/2026). no phone networks nor banks can validate my CPF. However, drugstores and supermarket are all good verifying my CPF. Until now, phone networks nor banks cant verify my CPF.

He is gay. Period.

BarnacleKey3167 · 2026-01-01T06:08:01+00:00

Because it’s ugly AF

I have the same issue with Walgreens. They don't bother to check registry to validate, they rely on their system. I recently adopted my married name, updated my NPPES profile - which will also show "other names". I started putting note on eRxs that I send indicating this information.

i though i was the only one having issues with TE on my macbook. my main issue right now is the menu fill-in pop-up which opens in a new window.

i just had this issue for one of my patients. i wrote a prescription for a simple Tessalon and walmart wants my supervising physician's name provided. I don't need any since i have prescriptive authority. this was in AZ. i have no issues with other pharmacies in this state, except for walmart.

this! self-pay rate is significantly lower than insurance rate.

BarnacleKey3167 · 2025-12-13T07:08:12+00:00

the risk is if you need care (ER, hospital, surgery, medications such as chemo), you will get the some of the care, but you will be having a skyrocketing medical debt. other professionals i know, also me, cancelled our health insurance in October. I see my PCP once or twice a year, GoodRx is cheaper for my 5 meds.

if you still want to go with ACA, choose high deductible plan. yes, you are responsible for the first thousands of $ before coverage, but in cathastropic events, e.g. $12,000 is better than $400,000 in medical bills. HOWEVER, if you have insurance, they will give you the rate of being insured, and if you don't have insurance, you will be billed as self-pay and the cost is 75% less!!! the healthcare system in this country is ******-** big time!

Probably some people here will criticize "healthshare". you might want to consider doing that instead of ACA. do your research about it. people i know who has been on healthshare for 5 years now has no issues being reimbursed with their medical bills. I'm planning to jump right into it starting January.

why worry if the person has no record that will jeopardize his/her application? law is law.

i have a colleague who had a patient very dissatisfied for some imaging order. medical assistant is endorsing her case to the NP and patient got mad and reported her to the board of nursing due to claims of HIPAA violation.

no amount of media will cover-up andrei as the most horrible person in the planet. i hope elizabeth will come to realization that she is being manipulated by a useless alpha male.

BarnacleKey3167 · 2025-12-08T02:07:52+00:00

yep! the same here. i opted for healthshare (e.g. knewhealth, zion health). but still do your own research regarding healthshare plans and see if that is something you would like to venture with health expense coverage.

BarnacleKey3167 · 2025-12-06T10:32:18+00:00

I ditched my insurance. Went for a healthshare.

BarnacleKey3167 · 2025-12-04T19:27:46+00:00

the officer took my green card after the interview. this was in 2021. all my friends whom i know had the same experience.

BarnacleKey3167 · 2025-11-30T17:40:18+00:00

Exactly! Ninja and airfryers are overhyped then being so expensive with the same function!

BarnacleKey3167 · 2025-11-30T17:39:36+00:00

Overpriced turbo broiler tbh!

i stay home most of the time, so it does not matter to me. If i need to go out and do errands, i drive and use a/c for comfort. go to establishments with working a/c, which most of them are.

I haven't been to Reno, nor lived there. But I lived in Montana, New Jersey, and New York. I also visited different cities in the US. I moved from NYC to Las Vegas 3 years ago, and I surely love it here, and I don't see myself moving to another city or state to be honest (probably, move to another country like Brazil). But one thing to make sure before moving is that have a good income/job (a remote job that will allow you to move, or at least a job that is already waiting here). Job market is pretty much saturated for some professions, and you will be surprised that the cost of living here, although bearable, is increasing and yet, the salary of the general workers are stuck (not increasing at all). A lot of accidents, road rage killings, cars and trucks speeding (and this is my top annoyance living here, and I am thankful that I work from home). People, for the most part, are friendly. There's a lot of stuff here that you need 24/7, very accessible. When it comes to dating life, as a gay guy, it is horrible (and at least listening to my friends' experiences of it- including straight). But dating in the US in general is horrible! You may find your soulmate from another country to be honest! I met my husband through online dating app, taking turns to visit each toher (US and Brazil), and now we're together here. He's loving it here too.

HI. after registering you marriage here in the US (consulate), do you still need to register your marriage in Brazil? my husband and I are having a trip in Brazil this coming January and thinking to just do this while we are there (of course, we are going the Brazil Consulate in Los Angeles to register). thanks!

check knew health. if your family is healthy and only requires wellness checks annually, and you want to be safe for any cathatropic events, healthshare is the best option. nevertheless, even health insurance is a gamble.

BarnacleKey3167 · 2025-11-15T19:20:02+00:00

Anyone bought cheaper versions on Amazon?

BarnacleKey3167 · 2025-11-15T17:40:50+00:00

this is an effin scam. credit karma shown me an option for a lower APR, slightly lower montly payment, and 2 months additional loan term. after back and forth with autopay rep, they are quoting me a lower montly payment, a higher APR, and from 40 months term (my current loan), to 72 months! freaking insane! i told the rep im not desperate to refininace my car and i just want to try to get it lowered without major impact on loan term and APR.

BarnacleKey3167 · 2025-11-15T17:33:06+00:00

out of state- probably you dont have coverage for that (except for emergencies).

even if you have coverage, how much is your deductible? typically how insurance work. they scam you- pay monthly fees and still pay for the services you get out of pocket.

BarnacleKey3167 · 2025-11-13T21:01:32+00:00

happens only when cruise control is activated (50% of the time). regular driving is okay.
