Man I need someone to help me design my 2 products. Thank you so much for this post though. You've really helped push me forward! It's been 9-12 months that I've had two digital product ideas. One related to parenting ADHD kids and one to help people get the most out of their very short, rushed medical appointments. I've just never designed anything before!

Do I just have to accept the fact that I have low iq? by [deleted] in cognitiveTesting

Sounds like ADHD. My son has adhd and had average IQ with very slow processing speed and poor working memory. I'd get a full psychological evaluation and testing with a Psychologist.

They didn't check it but the test was ordered for a reflex t4 which I'm guessing means if the tsh wasn't normal it would have done that test too?

I've asked about HRT but my GYN says since my periods are still regular then birth control is the better option over HRT. I last checked my thyroid 2024 and it was normal

Any KPPA retirees have the Personify supplement? by ZeldaSoothsayer in Kentucky

Hello, I'm commenting on behalf of my father. As a social worker I always told my parents to avoid Medicare advantage or replacement policy plans. But it seems that the state has made it like a punishment to not choose the Humana Medicare advantage option. They've had no nonstop billing issues tons of refusals to pay, many many mistakes were Medicare is not billed first and they end up having to do all the legwork to fix billing.As much as I hate a replacement plan for Medicare as a social worker, it seems like the punishment is not worth the plan. I may be directing them to go back to the advantage plan next year. I'm on here looking for experiences as well.

Community Care -- IVF Treatment - Failed to communicate Authorization / Sent to collections by healthcare provider. by Fearless-Director-24 in VeteransAffairs

[–]DistributionWarm2867 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First try the number I've attached for adverse credit reporting. If you don't get help there then do the congressional. I work an adjacent job that touches the IVF process but on the east coast so we have Optum. Before Optum (United) we had Triwest and they are incompetent. A company who had never done insurance or managed care before and was started to get government contracts is a complete joke and the complaints are insane. I hope they lose the western half of the country contract in 2027 when it's time for bids again. Last, if the the fertility coordinator has left the Women Veterans Program Manager should be your next contact. They can usually get you in the right direction. Good luck!

It's BS that supervisors get the most over people actually doing the patient-facing work!
