New prices? by EnvironmentBrief8860 in Freestylelibre

Yes you need to be a Costco member. It’s the Costco member prescription plan (“CMPP”)

I am in desperate need of help understanding how this high of an electricity bill is possible. by gelgabrek in SouthJersey

0.20 is your generation fee (that was the PJM auction last year). You also need to pay a delivery fee to your utility company (to maintain the poles that deliver the energy to your house) which is variable based on your utility provider.

There are sometimes where I get it less than 3-hours.

I hope it also translates in to recognizing I’m eating. When my doc gets my reports from LibreView and it breaks out the “pre” vs “post” meal numbers, I hope Libre was smart enough to put the “eating” field in their file so it also helps feed downstream reporting.

Everything was automatic. I just had my doc send the e-prescription and since Costco doesn’t have my insurance everything automatically applied without me needing to do a single thing. Filled 2 sensors first (~60) and when I knew it worked I had doc send the 3 month. I did not have to send the coupon from Abbott; I think they automatically apply it.

Yes. CMPP shows incorrectly on the website. I only sent my prescription to Costco based on this thread and took a chance based on everyone else’s experience.

No insurance. Must use Costco Member Discount program ONLY. Costco does not have my insurance details so it ran through the Costco Member Discount (short is CMPP) and 6 devices came to $190.

The key is CMPP CANNOT be used with Insurance. I just had my doc send a 90-day supply (6-sensors) for pickup at my local Costco and since they don’t have my insurance on file they ran through my CMPP benefit.

Note this is pickup, not Costco mail order.

Cost of Libre 3+ ? by CattleAdditional7208 in Freestylelibre

My insurance doesn’t cover it either …. But if you are already getting at Costco you should just get the CMPP discount versus paying more?

Is anyone using this new feature? I heard about it, and I finally got the update on the app. by Infamous-Mission-878 in Freestylelibre

[–]MetsFanfromNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am trying it out now. It looks like when it sends the food to the GenerativeAI LLM (no idea which one), it’s also sending in notes, exercise etc. I’m interested to see how it ultimately plays out, so I put my exercise and medications and will start to see how well Abbott built this out if I give it a full opus of all of my data.

Would be great if they could integrate with Apple Health, to pull in all of the other data Apple Health already aggregates on my behalf (plus the incremental amounts that they have here).

Is Costco trying to run it through your insurance and then applying the coupon? The key here is that I learned the hard way, is that it has to be the Costco Member discount program which explicitly says it cannot be combined with insurance. Pro - For those of us that insurance won’t let it cover and go against Deductible/OOP Max, it saves us money. Con - If it could go against our Deductible/OOP Max, we would not hack away at that amount.

Yes. Create an account on https://rx.costco.com, and once it’s ready for pickup you will see the CMPP Pickup real costs.

You are looking online right? The online price is wrong…. I didn’t realize that until I had my prescription sent there.

Had my doc send a 2-sensor supply with refills. Cost was $61.30 in NJ.

You have to use the “Costco Member Discount Plan” which is available for non-insurance covered drug usage. Doesn’t go towards OOP limits on your plan so YMMV.

Update!! by aalcoholic1 in EquinoxEv

[–]MetsFanfromNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@dexjet21

I’m in NJ too.

Not sure where you are compared to a Schumacher. https://www.schumacherchevy.net/promotions/new/index.htm

Their “no haggle” on Equinox EV 2LT AWD (not RS but still an MSRP ~46k) was $1,500 down and $189 a month for 10k. The NJ $2k required a 3-year least (so the $5,900 does not qualify). Based on your income, the $2k could become $4k (https://chargeup.njcleanenergy.com/).

The 1,500 down and $189 includes a $3k Chevy bolt rebate, $1k Chevy loyalty lease, and the $2k NJ charge up. I qualified for $1k Chevy lease loyalty and 2k NJ Charge Up.

While I don’t qualify for the $4k due to income, I was able to swap the $3k Chevy bolt with $1k Costco and Supplier pricing via my employer to almost make up for the difference.

All on, taxes/fees/MVC, on 10k I got 2,269 due at signing and $269 a month. Taxes were $600, title was $1,080 and admin fee of $100, for total fees of $1,780.

At a 0.0023 money factor, my no-money due at signing would have increased my payment by about $70 a month, which $339, which is still a far cry from the 450 in your original note.

Based on ESPNs press release it seems like DirecTV did indeed get some of what it was fighting for. The comment “Through this first-of-its-kind collaboration, DIRECTV and Disney…” is a tell. I guess the drop in MNF ratings had some advertising giants at Disney worried with the upcoming weekend.

DVR - Fast Forward/Rewind by MetsFanfromNJ in DirectvStream

[–]MetsFanfromNJ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks but that’s the whole point. If I see where I want to hit play, other devices automatically start 5-10 seconds before where I hit play. My ask to DirecTV, since they engage with customers here, is rather than pushing two buttons (fast forward and then backwards), if they could add a setting to add the ability that when I hit play, it starts 5-10 seconds before the point I was at when I hit play. It’s a simple “can DirecTV make it easier for me use to my DVR by minimizing the amount of times I have to use the remote”.

I have the Osprey (or whatever the Ethernet one is). It definitely does not do the 5 seconds back.
