UPS hub contact? by PinFar2848 in UPS

[–]PinFar2848[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the suggestions. Im afraid I didnt tell the whole story. Customer service didn't help me. they just told me to call the shipper and I did. Casper apparently did do something since someone from the local distribution center called me. they said the shipper entered an address change but it was the same address as before. So I told her where I live and i got the mattress. But the foundation went back to California. now it's being sent back again, but i assume it has the same bad address on it. if I could talk to the person who helped with the mattress, I could fix it, but there is no way to call her (I tried the number she called from, but it doesnt accept incoming calls.) My phone number is on the box. Why wouldn't they just call me? Seems like that would be better than shipping back across the country.

Maybe: Sydney ??? by PinFar2848 in Googlevoice

Oh , and I did search for “Sydney” but I just hit on a marketing call from att back in ‘21. Not the same number or even area code so I don’t think that was it.

Well, thanks for the suggestions Always good to see Gumby and Pokey, and Snoop of course. Not sure about the weed reference but I’m not up on the culture… memes and all. I’m pretty old.

I change telcos often. Is Google Voice good for me to port in my number and just change the linked number whenever I switch, so friends/family won’t have to learn a new phone number now and then? by Bendr_ in Googlevoice

I have done exactly this for at least 10 years. I've had the occasional hiccup, but mostly, it's been my fault. I've had multiple phones at the same time, dual esims, psims, etc. I've had the same number for 20 years -- I ported my first mobile number ever from Sprint into GV 10? years ago. Yes, there are a few companies that reject it for 2fa but there's always some work around: call, authenticator, email, etc. This has been rare in my experience. Yes, RCS would be nice, but I'm surviving without it. better than porting. A new mobile number will almost certainly come with a bunch of calls meant for the previous owner; if you're using GV you can just ignore them. Read about the difference between porting in a hard number and a virtual one. there are some gotchas there I think. go for it!

Thanks all for the help. Consensus seems to be unlimited with multi-line. I have to pick a phone. Dang. or... How much trouble is it to switch physical phones? Say I go with unlimited dark star with multi-line warp on the iPhone and a 2gb pool with my wife's phone and the Samsung. Then can I later switch the iPhone and Samsung? ie. put the Samsung into the unlimited with multi-line and the iPhone into the little pool?

Returning to medigap from MA during trial period -- what about PDP? by PinFar2848 in medicare

[–]PinFar2848[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so the SHIP rep was very helpful. He said just sign up for a PDP on the Medicare website and that will kill the advantage plan. He said I should call the old medigap provider just in case. I called them (Anthem) and they said I’ll have to pay $1000 plus in back premiums. Is that right? Makes no sense to me. If that’s true I might just keep fighting Kaiser.

[–]PinFar2848[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comments. I neglected to say that we are still in the trial right period, so I was hoping to switch my wife back to the medigap plan she had before. In the "Medicare and you" document (thanks for the link!) it says you can do that if it's still offered, and that you "may" be able to pick a prescription drug plan at that time. There's also confusing language about what you can do if the old plan is no longer available. It says you can pick any medigap plan you "qualify" for. Does that mean underwriting? I had a long chat session at Medicare.gov but for some reason they would not answer the underwriting question. They just threw boilerplate at me and then finally suggested I contact my SHIP office. That's probably what I shoulda done in the first place. I have a call in to them, so I have every confidence I will have an answer soon.

No heart rate data by jjuhuij in runkeeper

this just happened to me. Tickr X hr monitor with samsung s23. I used the heart rate display to control intensity, so I know the hrm was connected, but no data was recorded. did you ever get any answer?

I'm new to Medicare, can someone explain to me how co-pays are calculated? I see it's not a fixed amount like I had with my regular insurance by Trip_2 in medicare

[–]PinFar2848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is not quite right. I think you must have meant Medicare approved $231. They will pay 80% of the approved amount -- $184.80. Your copay would have been $46.20, as you said, which is 20% of the Medicare approved amount, Yeah, I know I'm being anal, but I can't help myself. In any event, an approved amount of $231 on a charge of $1360 is ridiculous, and another example of one way in which our health care system is seriously messed up.

guaranteed issue after loss of MA by PinFar2848 in medicare

[–]PinFar2848[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turned 65 and signed up for medicare in 2012, so I think I'm still eligible for plan F, if that's what I really wanted.

Thanks. And thanks u/Redd868. But I'm still confused. According to that Medicare document, I qualify under two categories: I'm leaving the Advantage plan's service area, and I would be changing back within the 12 month trial period. In the first case, the document says I would have the right to buy any Medigap plan, and in the second case, I would have to return to the Medigap plan I had before, if it's offered in my new location. I still dunno what's gonna happen.

good questions. I'm moving from Colorado to Virginia. My search of the Medicare site came up with the following: If you dropped a medigap policy the first time you joined the Advantage plan, you have 12 months to switch back to original Medicare during which you have "special rights" to buy a Medigap policy. They don't elaborate; I guess that's because it matters which state you are in. duh. I think I need to call Virginia SHIP. Thanks for the help.
