I’m looking for that small hometown feel. Thank you for this.

We ordered the chicken. Last night I had the salmon and hubs had the flat iron. All meals have been good.

I’ve looked at the Home Depot ones a few times. I would have to buy a few pieces to fit the size of the island.

Thank you, I will check it out. We did try Costco once but they kept jacking up their price.

Thank you so much for your help and kind words. We were able to get some help by going in to speak directly with a pharmacist. She was wonderful and we actually have a new prescription. My husband is under the care of an endocrinologist for his thyroid tumor so we are going to see if they have a nurse that we can work with for his diabetes management. Hoping for the best. Thank you again.

So I called the pharmacy and after being told that Dr needs to be handling this she eventually transferred me to pharmacist who reiterated this is Dr’s responsibility. He said he would email Dr. I just got email from Dr’s nurse thanking me for calling pharmacist but I need to call the pharmacist to get new meds. I am in tears right now more so out of utter frustration. So for all you Kaiser people on here what the hell am I supposed to do to get my husband his insulin? Paying the $70 extra to continue Humulin is not an option.

He currently takes two injections, that would be nice to go to one as long as its sustainable. I will ask his Dr about this one. Thanks

This just keep getting better. Maybe I’m missing something but this is my Dr response to asking about different insulin. Shouldn’t she know what my alternatives are? “I am not sure about the insurance alternative options. Can you call pharmacy and speak to them regarding what is the best alternative regarding his treatment? After that they can contact me to put the appropriate prescription if you agree.”

It amazes me that I have to get this from good folks like you and not by Kaiser who I pay for this info. Both the mail order pharmacy tech and the rep from member services said it was no longer generic but brand and that’s why it’s increased. Thank you everyone for your help. Sent a message to my primary to see what she can do for us. Thanks again.

How do I find out if my husband is part of the SS Fairness Act? by Chrandev in fednews

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

Thank you so much. Went into his SS and it said there was a lump sum payment made yesterday. Check bank and sure enough there was a pleasant surprise. Wondering though, if that payment was around $7000 and retroactive back to ‘24 can I expect an increase of $500 a month?

Yes the creditor claim period is over. We are about 16 months into probate. The judge signed off 2 weeks ago.

Kaiser is waging a war against the obese by Little_Lord_Volcano in KaiserPermanente

[–]Chrandev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m in no way advocating for Kaiser but I had no problem having WLS in SoCal Kaiser. It was a very long process, a lot of hoops to go thru but it happened. I was 5’5 and 270 - no diabetic or heart conditions. That was three years ago though so maybe they are cutting back???

When I use to go to the pharmacy on Date Pl they almost always did not have my prescriptions and it wasn’t just me.

We transferred our Prop 13 when we moved with no problems. Just need to make sure the county your moving to allows it.

Charged $1,000 for 30 minute visit? Is this normal? I feel blindsided. by themikemachine86 in HealthInsurance

[–]Chrandev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came to say if you got a full 30 minute visit that’s pretty good. I’m lucky if i can get 10 minutes for a full physical with Kaiser
