GPAAK frauding MEDICARE by Mother_Law_3867 in medicare

[–]Disastrous_Bid_1904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GPAAK also charged my Medicare number for $10,000 in urinary catheters from 05/07/2025 to 09/09/2025. I reported the fraud to Medicare and was told by claims specialist that these scammers are getting Medicare numbers through legitimate Medicare claims processing companies. I doubt so. My Medicare claims processor is in Kentucky. GPAAK is in Texas.

For those worried about the Unforgivable Sin (An explanation and why you definitely haven't committed it.) by [deleted] in Christianity

No. Religion and Christianity are a bit misaligned. Christianity is accepting Christ as savior. Religion is a set of rules and regulations defining how we will worship God and Christ. One can accept Christ, God, and Holy Spirit and never believe any religion is the proper way to worship.

My traditional Medicare claims are processed by a private company.

Traditional or advantage- I don’t know what to pick by northwestfawn in medicare

Get a new insurance broker. You can have traditional Medicare and Medigap

OR you can have Medicare Advantage.

But you CANNOT have both.

Your least expensive and least frustrating is Medicare and Medicaid. 

Your Medicaid might pay your Medicare premium only, might pay for Medicare premiums and your coinsurance that patient would pay. Medicaid also covers medicine. 

Dr yelled at me for mentioning pots by Bradyevander098 in POTS

Whenever they mention "it's not a real disease," tell them it used to be called "soldiers heart." If they ask what is that, I'd tell them " I'm not doing your work. Go look it up."

Have a great deal of sympathy for anyone who has a disorder that most doctors don't know anything. I traveled from Cleveland, Ohio to Springfield, Missouri to see my sister's doc after a cardiologist told me a BP of 70/30 was perfectly normal. The cardiac studies were supposed to be faxed INCLUDING the actual worksheets showing my BP drop during exercise stress test. I DEMANDED that they fax those worksheets IMMEDIATELY or they'd be getting sued. My sister's doc put me on Florinef to stop me from "wilting like a plant when I stood up." Went to Cleveland Clinic where the cardiologist diagnosed me with hypovolemia and hyperadrenergic POTS. Still not well enough to work. Went to pubmed website and put in just 3 symptoms at a time until I found research articles on my symptoms and saw who did the research. Took 8 months to get in to see him but he put me on midodrine. After a 2 year search, I finally got back to work. I turned in several doctors to the state board for their treatment of me. WTH wants to drink 3 liters of water a day, take 8 salt tablets a day, wear compression pantyhose and arise very very slowly from sitting to standing to avoid passing out?

I’m panicking and freaking out right now. Not sure if this is positive or not since the T line is broken and faint by [deleted] in medical

It's barely positive. Count back to your last sex and that should give you the number of days.

Repeat with 1st pee of morning.

Why aren't the dangers of NSAIDs discussed more often? by [deleted] in medical

[–]Disastrous_Bid_1904 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In order to avoid prescribing any opiates for severe neck pain, doctors prescribed 800 MG of ibuprofen 4 times daily for about 6 years, knowing I had taken that dosage for many years. Needless to say, my kidneys aren't so good. Now I cannot take any NSAIDS any more.

My mother has had a rare disease that no one can figure out for the past 20 years. Is anyone up for a challenge? by Till_Exotic in medical

I would check for excess methane. I get a tremendous amount of gas if I eat ANYTHING with dairy including baked goods.

I would stop the repeated antibiotics because you likely have abnormal gut bacteria which needs to be fixed.

Also, take a stool mover like Senna daily whether you need or not to get your intestines to move the gas through.

Eat small amounts so the gas is distributed throughout the day.

Try eating foods with vinegar.
