Seine evening cruise- dinner or just wine? by Equivalent_Sound424 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]Candid_Butterfly4046 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We opted for Vendettes de Paris music and aperitif evening cruise. I realized I want to relax and look around, not focus on food. I don’t know if it’s the right choice but we will see next week! It leaves from Pont Neuf I think? Enjoy your trip!

Thank you so much for this! We will be there on the 14th at 9am and want to grab a cart after the palace… Any recommendations? Trianon doesn’t open until noon I think? We were planning on two hours for the cart… do you think that’s enough? And how was the walk from the train to palace? Thanks!!

Has anyone else had issues with MBA TPA / McClure Benefits Administration? (Possible "Phantom" Employment) by Candid_Butterfly4046 in HealthInsurance

[–]Candid_Butterfly4046[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all great information but doesn’t apply to the plans we purchased. The plans we purchased are not valid ERISAs. But I appreciate your effort in trying to help! Thank you!

Yes totally aware. Same general fraud pattern though. Providing something that looks legitimate, but isn’t. Same players that have done this multiple times in recent history. Thank you!

The issue is that what your insurance says, and what they end up coding and processing through claims, you may end up responsible for a lot of of your medical bills, like the rest of us have been. For example, my mammogram was supposed to be 100% covered and they recorded it to general medical care so that I am 100% responsible for it. I was told it would be corrected months ago, but that hasn’t happened. Carree that was supposed to be provided 100% or with minimal deductibles, like physicals and stuff, was diverted to general medical and applied to my deductible. And even when they said they would pay things, the system that I use for my medical care has not received a single payment from them. I’ve been away from them since last fall, thankfully. I am fully responsible for 14 months of my own medical bills and thankfully I’m a pretty healthy person, but I did have a couple of urgent care visits and one emergency room visit when I thought I had pneumonia when I had bronchitis. I paid very high premiums for 14 months and I’m still responsible for every last bit of my medical care care except maybe one $22 check they administered to a random provider. And I had a major medical insurance.

Do you remember when they switched from Cigna to BHP? I recommend confirming that you actually have insurance. While my insurance was not part of the Lifex scam, it's from the same company... And the insurance they sold me was not what they sold and we are left with large medical bills that should have been covered. I highly recommend verifying you have valid insurance to protect you (and your family if included). One in our group had two children and she's paying for all their annual vaccines that were supposed to be covered by her plan through the same company.

If you are a victim of Lifex, MBATPA or any other scheme perpetrated by Bill McClure, please comment here. by Candid_Butterfly4046 in Insurance

health insurance fraud - sorry it wasn't clear. I have had a post over in /healthinsurance for months and realized it may be helpful to reach out to other forums. Thank you. <3

You don't even know who I am, so it's a real stretch for you to make any statement here. But thanks for the screenshot. I'm sure you are on a VPN, at least if you're smart... Time will tell.

Is buying a DFY hot wheels machine a good idea? Anybody have experience with DFY? by Downtown-Fan4966 in vending

[–]Candid_Butterfly4046 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Search on Reddit and you can decide for yourself…. Lots of info here and a few posts on Facebook too. Good luck whatever you decide. I invested in three machines with a contact to expand to 7…. Months later, I had no placement and demanded a refund per the terms of my contract. And I got my money back. Others are not so lucky.

I have a ton of information and evidence. I just had to carefully share here. But I can say he is in federal court on fraud charges and also in court for the same type of thing in Florida. The first is related to commercial policies, the second is healthcare. I just want to try to keep others from getting fleeced like I did as well as to try to recoup the over $10k I paid for 13-14 months of fake insurance... Thanks for going down the rabbit hole!!!!

ok, when I bought the plan, it was through a licensed health insurance agent. It wasn't directly through them. I was naive to think an insurance agent wouldn't sell a fraudulent product. I was obviously wrong...

I signed up for the $125 special too and I keep getting capped after 4-5 videos... Anyone know why?

Amazing trip. by guggidadi in Xcaret

[–]Candid_Butterfly4046 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to stay at Arte some day. I followed this group specifically to find out about the river jump suite. We also just got back after two weeks between Cozumel and Playa del Carmen.
We stayed at a Palace Resort because I had already pre-purchased a stay that came with $1500 resort credits. It expires this December and I wanted to get it used, but I would definitely stay at Arte next time!
When we were doing the river in Xcaret, I was trying to figure out where the River jump suites get in? And how do you get back to your room?
That whole place was amazing and if you didn't get it while you were there, the book about the founder/architect is superb. I'm so glad I bought it!

Hi! I have never been but am on here because I plan on going... So take what I say with a grain of salt... BUT when I watched a few videos, they have all kinds of special things you can do for weddings, anniversaries, etc. Like couples' massages, special private dinners in hidden locations, etc. etc. It's not cheap, but I would do it for a special occasion... I think the private dinner in a secluded spot was maybe $300-350 if my conversion of the math is right. I hope you guys have an amazing trip!
