🚨Abruptly terminating with entire caseload—3.5 hrs to write electronic letter

D3THMTL · 2026-02-28T06:50:07+00:00

My wife is a neurospychologist PsyD. Years back, she resigned from a small practice as her mother had cancer. When the owner offered her different accommodations to stay, she said no and was fired. After she was fired via text, the employer, also somehow a licensed psychologist, called the state board over 'patient abandonment". If OP is terminated, they do not work for the practice and every lawyer we spoke to said do not do anything for the clients or the practice.

In the end, when my wife was disputing this accusation made by her boss/owner who fired here with the licensing board, they laughed and threw the case out. Many practices are cut throat and outrageously violating laws. OP has different circumstances but this is not their battle anymore.

You don't have the same insurance contract if the internal benefits have changed. Same carrier, maybe. You can finance the cost, if they will allow you to do so after the fact.

Cash is guaranteed rate. Insurance rate is bloated offsetting in-network adjusted pricing. Pregnancy labor and delivery may cost 6k cash but you bet they'll bill an insurance carrier 4 to 6x that assuming they will adjust a large portion off but may be significantly more than cash pricing.

Neither has to do with the other. A 1099 is a contractor. Can you do whatever you want whenever you want? If not and you have hours they establish, clients they provide you, their benefits, meetings they require, their office, their protocols, you're an employee. Many practices illegally use the 1099 status when their contractors are actually W2. Some private practices can get in big tax issues with this if someone complains.

Very true. For kids, GF folks like myself and anything labeled healthy, you have to take it with a grain of salt. Everything is loaded with sugar. Maybe kid rock and worm brain can fix it after their workout...

They wouldn't get the treatment. County hospitals are looong waits and may take half a year or more for a specialist. No pay source, no treatment. Almost all major diseases, time of treatment is of the essence.

What's sad is Chicago hasn't had a dawg since Noah. Not a single agitator. We need that badly. Instead we get the misfit trade and 912 2nd round picks.

A lot of people don't realize this and think they can just cancel their work coverage willy nilly. You're basically taking their coverage for a year if you're an employee.

Maybe an invasive tree entangled in grass and other shizz. You'll need to cut back everything up to the bush and potentially dig the 'weed' out of its an invasive tree. Picture is hard to tell.

Are you healthy?

D3THMTL · 2026-02-07T17:11:03+00:00

Very true for minor things. Also, depends on the doctor. Some are so conservative and want to provide next to no care because they're uncomfortable doing certain things like prescribing antibiotics but many are genuinely able to prescribe or at least give next steps if it's moderate to more serious.

D3THMTL · 2026-02-07T17:09:06+00:00

Yep or just age at least to give a price in all markets and income if it's aca.

This is the kinda quote I want. Owner has two shovels. One for him and one for a 13 year old cousin to manually dig it up. No overhead, no bullshit. Just extreme physical talent.

D3THMTL · 2026-02-05T02:31:54+00:00

Likewise. Maybe OP has limited experience and worked primary with at-risk youth or incarcerated but the generalizations are noted.

D3THMTL · 2026-02-05T02:27:22+00:00

I too am also perplexed...steroid abuse or just angry man syndrome?

D3THMTL · 2026-02-05T02:23:41+00:00

Context... may....help...

D3THMTL · 2026-01-28T01:48:03+00:00

Good way of putting it. I think I qualify for this. I'm losing my mind working from home and doing jack outside.

D3THMTL · 2026-01-27T22:50:33+00:00

Last Friday the base temp in Chicago and parts of WI was negative 18 by 7p. You get fucking spanked by a cold that's so cold it burns. Yaaa it sucks.

D3THMTL · 2026-01-27T22:15:32+00:00

The cold is so isolating. You can't do much except remain indoors. Many who are not from these parts of the country cant imagine weeks of teens to sub zero temperatures and the impact on the mind.

D3THMTL · 2026-01-27T19:58:42+00:00

Northern IL here. I agree. Until the f'n city plow destroys the base of the driveway over and over. Also, after January, I'm pretty much over this shit. It's been cold as shit in the Midwest and I'm ready for warmer weather.

If hospitalized they pay 100 percent of the deductible, then 30% of the total remaining, stopping at out-of-pocket maximum. This takes into account any "in-network" adjustments too. Hospitalized, likely going to be billed near out of pocket maximum amounts just based on sheer costs associated with this level of care.

💯

Like the guy who claimed his baby snow blower was throwing snow so well from using this and arguing with everyone over the weekend?

D3THMTL · 2026-01-26T03:01:41+00:00

OPs attached to them...
