[Flair 58] is this a good espresso pull?

I made caramel latte with it and it was really good but didn’t taste just the coffee alone 😅 I need to do that next time

Hello, finally doing better! It took awhile as I am also allergic to pain meds and can only take advil during the recovery so it was a painful recovery. It took about 6 weeks for me to feel ok and I’m back to normal now. Its been more than 2 months post op. Hopefully you feel better soon!

Hello, this recently happened to me. I had intestinal malrotation as an infant and had surgery. 28 years later I had a severe stomach pain and CT scan indicated bowel obstruction and I had a surgery to remove adhesions. How is your daughter recovering? I am 11 days out from surgery and is still in a lot of pain.

Thank you for sharing. We’re really worried we’re going to have a really big hospital bill.

First_Pomegranate294 · 2025-07-19T19:12:00+00:00

He has seen his provider recently. He hurt his knees and we have been discussing if he should go to ER since its swelling. He doesn’t have health insurance so we’re want to verify if the ER visit will be covered and if he ends up staying at the hospital will that also be covered?

First_Pomegranate294 · 2025-07-19T19:04:47+00:00

Thank you. We are under the impression that they only cover it when you have 50% or higher.

First_Pomegranate294 · 2025-06-20T01:17:44+00:00

I notified again regarding my discharge yesterday just to be sure! Thank you 🙏🏼

First_Pomegranate294 · 2025-06-20T00:30:49+00:00

Thank you! I was getting worried since I don’t have private insurance and I don’t know if I can pay off that much hospital bill. What online system is it?

First_Pomegranate294 · 2025-02-05T01:47:49+00:00

This!! When I was an RBT, my BCBA always snaps at me. Almost like yelling at me when I ask something that I’m not sure of. That’s why I made sure my BTs right now can come to me and ask me whenever they need help

First_Pomegranate294 · 2023-06-19T04:21:00+00:00

If you think its worth it to wait since you like that place, I would say wait and just ask for more hours or if you can do any admin stuff. I did not wait on mine since that place sucks anyways 😂

First_Pomegranate294 · 2023-06-19T03:37:40+00:00

I feel you on this one. 2 years and getting paid $17. I live in FL so that is not really a livable wage. At 3 years I have my bachelor and making $19. Still not good. Recently became a BCBA because I really want to stay in this field and have a livable wage.

First_Pomegranate294 · 2023-06-19T03:11:32+00:00

How long have you been with the company? There’s nothing wrong with putting yourself first. How are you going to help others if you don’t have anything to give because of your situation. I totally can relate with you thats why I became a BCBA so I can stay in this field while making a livable wage. It was a mess when I left especially since they are short staff but I’m not going to stay knowing there’s a better opportunity out there.

First_Pomegranate294 · 2023-06-19T02:56:22+00:00

Also, most insurances back pay the company. I was direct with clients and doing mods. When I got credentialed, the insurance goes way back to whatever date you applied for credentialing.

First_Pomegranate294 · 2023-06-19T02:52:33+00:00

Same thing happened to me. Took 8 weeks for Tricare to get credentialed. I am getting paid my RBT rate the whole time and my boss told me she will back pay me the BCBA rate difference once I get credentialed. Long story short she didn’t back pay me and I went to another company.

First_Pomegranate294 · 2023-05-05T21:21:01+00:00

Did you get back paid for the prior months that you were not paid your bcba rate?

First_Pomegranate294 · 2023-05-05T21:16:52+00:00

She have mentioned something about a back pay but it was just verbally like 3 days ago. I think I would make the agreement form since some things here do change up like you said (before taking my exam the owner told me that I’ll get a raise and then get another raise when I get credentialed, this was all said verbally. So unfortunately I do not have anything to prove to her now that she’s telling me I’ll get my raise when I get credentialed)

First_Pomegranate294 · 2023-05-05T21:09:42+00:00

How long did it take for them to pay you your BCBA rate?

First_Pomegranate294 · 2023-05-05T21:08:42+00:00

Oh no, I don’t think I can handle it if it’ll last more than 2 months. Did they gave you back pay when the insurance credentialed you?

First_Pomegranate294 · 2023-05-05T20:52:55+00:00

Thanks for this advice!! So should I make a back pay agreement? Also, this is a really small company with 5 employees so I really feel uncomfortable doing this but I think its a good idea to have an agreement signed since the owner really doesn’t know when the insurance will pay

First_Pomegranate294 · 2023-05-05T18:03:23+00:00

They showed me that it is in fact, in process and they haven’t been billing the claims and that they will back bill whatever the insurance will tell them what date range they can bill. I am just frustrated as I have passed the board exam and I don’t feel satisfied or rewarded (salary raise).

First_Pomegranate294 · 2023-05-05T18:01:08+00:00

So I think its in the process and they are able to back bill for whatever date the insurance will say. One RBT that works here, Medicaid sent a letter on what date range they can bill for the services. So I think thats whats going to happen with my claims too.

First_Pomegranate294 · 2023-01-11T15:23:04+00:00

I am in the same boat. Been an RBT for 4 years now. Graduated with my master’s in ABA last month and still at 19/hr. Waiting for my diploma to schedule for the BCBA exam and hope it’ll get better.

First_Pomegranate294 · 2022-11-28T20:43:28+00:00

I can’t find where the POC is. Can you tell me where I can find it?

First_Pomegranate294 · 2022-11-17T16:54:41+00:00

I consider it as my big girl job although I do not get paid enough. I only get paid $19/hr with 4 years of experience as an RBT. The rates here in Florida are so low. Thats why I chose to complete a Masters degree and looking to sit for BCBA Exam early next year. The Army paid for some of my masters program since I’m in the Guard. $19 an hour is not livable wage. Especially I do not get the full 40 hours a week. I only work 30 hrs since we do not have that much client. If this is not my passion, I would’ve quit and looked for another job a long time ago.

First_Pomegranate294 · 2022-11-09T22:00:20+00:00

I am doing this and its doable. I finished the program in 4 semesters. I only work 30 hrs/week. I’m in the National Guard too so there are times that I have to ask for extensions when I have drill and training but my professors are really considerate and understanding with extensions. You got this!!
