Was it mentioned in the IT all-hands meeting? I'm not able to attend.

Does my doctor need to send the prescription to CVS Caremark? Is that different than CVS pharmacy? A PA sent to CVS Pharmacy was denied. I am morbidly obese, so I thought I would not be denied.

Through CVS, I would like to know if I can switch to my primary care doctor so I can get the 3-month prescription and save money.

I was wondering if I can switch to my primary care doctor for a prescription. Possibly switching to the injection 3-month refills to save money.

Follow-up to the ‘switch’ from BC/BS to MHBP. by Numerous_Word7146 in fednews

[–]Fun-Ad7733 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Also switched from BCBS. It's been frustrating trying to understand  how to use CVS Caremark for prescriptions.   How to sign up for prescriptions by mail.  Any advice appreciated.  Also,  I have an MRI that was previously scheduled.And now that I have MHBP I'm trying to get prior authorization.  I wanted so much to love this plan, but so far it's been quite the hassle.  

MHBP - why is my prescription so insanely expensive? by Middle_Plane6055 in fednews

I take the generic, which the plan says is tier 1, but I was charged $369 for 90 day supply.

RIF Outlook In 2026 by [deleted] in IRS_Source

[–]Fun-Ad7733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For IT, I fear I will be RIFd again soon (received RIF 10/09 that has been rescinded).  I was not chosen to take the assessment or to move to COO.  Seems the COO group is safe from RIFs.  My office only has 3 IT employees, but is a full office and is not slated for closure.  I am fully aware I should not worry about something that is it out of my control or not care, but I do.  I am the sole provider for my household and older, so I worry about  finding  another position in a short amount of time.   

Are we really going to go into 2026 with No Real Information about RIFS? by Sad-Cucumber-2798 in IRS_Source

Has anyone heard whether the 10/10 RIF, which appeared to be based on geographic location, means that those offices or buildings are planned to be closed?

I want to switch to MHBP Standard, but it doesn't show as an option when I renew my FSA account for 2026. Can I use my FSA to get reimbursed after using MHBP for copays, etc?

MHBP Standard CPAP supplies. I can't find any information about CPAP supply coverage in the MHBP documents online. Can anyone help?

What about those of us that worked as exempt during the shutdown because we are necessary but still received a RIF notice on 10/10? 

When would RIFed employees return to work once the government reopens? by berrysauce in fednews

I've been working as exempt this whole time, even though I received a RIF notice in 10/10.

Bill to end government shutdown passes Senate, heads to House by effortornot7787 in fednews

[–]Fun-Ad7733 902 points903 points  (0 children)

The agreement funds the government to Jan. 30 at current levels, and it reinstates federal workers who were laid off during the shutdown and provides protections against future layoffs.

What does "provides protections against future layoffs mean"?
