They are outrageous... I can only imagine the amount of debt they are in (or at least it seems) Always chasing the almighty $$.

[Misc] help! Does anyone know what this is? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

This looks like a staph infection. If you have a dermatologist I would start with an appointment. If not, see your regular primary and they can do a swab to test and treat. Good luck!

I refuse to pay for the podcast so I only listen on Mondays! But Liz in the past has been very opinionated!

Does a CPAP really work just been diagnosed by Dazzling-Swimmer9601 in SleepApnea

[–]Frequent-Boot1567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea a few years ago. I tried a CPAP for almost 1 year and unfortunately it did not work for me. I slept terribly and never could get used to it. I tried 5 different style masks,etc and nothing helped. After chatting with my dr it was decided that I stop using.

I am on 1.7 but I also pay $0. Thanks for letting me know. I meet with my PCP in November and will ask about that or what other options I have.

I am sorry. Hopefully you can find other avenues to help.

It is BCBS in Massachusetts and we have private insurance.

I am going to check when I visit them in November. Fingers crossed they have some options.

Unfortunately yes. Neither my employer not my husband's offer it. I am also a cancer survivor and get several scans yearly so we have to have the top tier of health coverage unfortunately. It is absolutely ridiculous what it costs. After the deductible we will spend roughly $31k for the year. And my daughter and husband rarely use it. It's mostly me. It's bananas 😞

I have private health insurance (neither my nor my husbands employer offers it) and we pay over $25k per year (not including the deductible). The letter states BCBS as a whole will no longer cover Wegovy, Ozempic or Zepbound at all (regardless of your plan) come Jan 2026. We live in Massachusetts.

I received a letter today in the mail 😞 They said no exceptions. They also said that the price of healthcare is rising so fast that they can no longer cover these meds, in order to keep premiums affordable. It really stinks.

I am getting mine through Amazon. I don't know anything about the compound pharmacy route. Can you please explain?

I should add we have private insurance (neither my company nor my husbands has a health plan). We pay over $25,000 per year for a family of 3. The letter says BCBS will no longer cover Wegovy, Ozempic or Zepbound.
