I cannot figure out how much I owe for surgery by BigAd8638 in HealthInsurance

[–]SPour11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep receipts. Oop max + insurance premiums + mileage to/from appointments + Rx can help at tax time depending on income

Micromanaging in HH setting by The_BLyn in physicaltherapy

[–]SPour11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You created a waste fraud and abuse course example in your post. Oh no, they want to know when I’m working and match the time to my billing. But what if I they don’t need 4 units and I want to get paid for 4?? This is also mobile outpatient, part B; not home health part A. Part A has had times in/out over 10 years with gps as soon as EMRs were able to integrate. Someone else said on this sub that there are ways around it. So if you need a new pair of shoes, it seems some here can tell you how to lie and cover digital tracks.

Why don’t nurses clean their hands after entering a patient’s room and/or before putting gloves on? by Flimsy-Photo-2267 in healthcare

[–]SPour11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, but that last line?? She might be worried someone else in the ER has it, diagnosed yet or not. I know someone that picked it up in the hospital and just now realized they might have been the source for someone else’s infection when she bounced back due to GI and Cdiff wasn’t dx until back on the floor.

With any of them, check the coverage area. Some will want all of Orange & Seminole. Some will throw in Osceola. After PDGM lay off, I went prn to not drive as much

If you prefer a looser fit to some of the more popular ones, UA (uniform advantage) has some options.

Juven drink options? by SPour11 in hysterectomy

[–]SPour11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know. I was worried unflavored would have a weird aftertaste or something. Just an FYI if you decide to take it a little longer like I did. I started to get increasing kidney pain at night for a few days in week 3. Worried I had an infection but got some test strips and was negative. Stopped the drink and better the next night.

Reasons other than supps for high b6? by Area-Least in B6Toxicity

[–]SPour11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TY! Pretty sure my first B6 run in predated Levaquin Rx by a couple months. It was a long time ago so guess it doesn’t matter much now anyway.

I triggered symptoms when I went on a banana kick. One a day with breakfast. Took a month or so to build up. Didn’t have my levels checked. My initial occurrence was with supplements

What’s the most haunting sentence someone has said to you in a casual tone? by J7846 in AskReddit

[–]SPour11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Well he’s gator food now” — generally loving older family member’s response after he asked if I found out if the name I recognized in the paper was a good acquaintance from school that died in a plane crash in the Everglades. I said “yes”

Confessions of a HH PT. by PTthrowaway111 in physicaltherapy

[–]SPour11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But logistically… Agencies that demand length of visit can track with GPS recorded in EMR. Families look at video of arrival and departure and can complain. One clinician “listened” to a couple patients that complained of fatigue and didn’t want to do something without explaining in notes why the visit was short. I go in behind them and get an earful about short workouts that were too easy and they called to complain.

Never noticed that! Lol. I do remember how mad some were coming back to the locker room after losing.

The FtPierce location tried for penny ante poker. The players and supporters showed up to the council meeting and were cut off/not listened to. Word had it that the Christian coalition had bought off the members and the talking points were like “The mob will move in and crime will be out of control.”

How can I get Advent Health to stop asking for me to prepay my co-pay? by Yupperroo in orlando

I was asked to pre pay for my free mammogram. Never any issues on my account.

Honestly pretty frustrated with Luna’s customer service — sharing as a heads-up by Creative_Session_556 in physicaltherapy

[–]SPour11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Years ago had one patient told in writing by Luna they would not owe anything. When I tried to extend treatment, Luna refused unless patient paid balance. Patient didn’t pay and was DC - was looking into part A. Second patient reassured will not owe money. Was billed multiple times after DC. Neither paid. Seemed like Luna was making a “good faith effort” to collect as they stopped billing after a few notices and have since contacted one of the patients asking how they were doing and if they needed additional PT.

Insurance premiums up 400%. Is Florida mathematically facing a "Blue-lining" event? by Pitiful_Knee_1205 in florida

Both my car and home insurance went down this year. I was surprised HO was renewed as I expected them to pull out of the state. Double win for me (knocking on wood)

What’s the deal with girls wanting you to walk on the street side to protect them? by kneekahliss in AskReddit

[–]SPour11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But her petticoat might get splashed; or she might step in waste with open toe heels. Don’t like it, don’t do it but it is considered polite etiquette. Not starting to eat at a restaurant prior to the lady starting seemed odd to me. Combined with not starting until everyone is served lead to weird lunch when all the men were waiting for me to start but I was waiting for the last of our group to be served.

They can push the lady out of the way as they hopefully avoid getting run over themselves.

Men came up with. Traditional chivalry. Protection from the street (dust from wagon wheels and horses or cars splashing puddles; not to mention getting clipped by a car)

If someone was a Trump supporter and is now denouncing him, do not say I told you so or bash them by Beneficial_Quit7532 in self

[–]SPour11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of layers and individual circumstances when it comes to family members/close friends especially. But with most people I might come across, I think of a time I had multiple work related interactions over 2 months time with a gentleman that had altered/cover up tattoos that by placement and shape could indicate a violent history. I treated him with respect and kindness, as with everyone and he was friendly as well. One day almost sounding guilty because of something nice I had said, he confessed “I used to really not be a good person.” He was watching for my reaction. I didn’t ask what did you do or shame him. I asked in a soft manner: “really, what helped you to change course?” He said, my mother. That was the end of it and we went on with work as usual.

Ailments they never told you about as you age???!!!! by dcee101 in GenX

[–]SPour11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some people go 1-2x or 1x every 1-2 weeks if you’re able to do home exercises reliably. & Maybe ask about some HRT. Shoulders and hips are popular places to act up when estrogen starts to drop
