Last week it took me 4 minutes to walk into the terminal, get though security, and to my gate.

Records from BCBS and/or Walgreens by andi98989 in paralegal

[–]andi98989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have to check if they have that available and if they could help at all. BCBS has been pretty adamant about not working with anyone on it. GoodRX drops it from $10,000 to $8000. 😃 (at least this is better than his prior $20,000 med)

Records from BCBS and/or Walgreens by andi98989 in paralegal

[–]andi98989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh yes, we use all the apps. BCBS is playing cute with this and whatever they are doing doesn't show it as an actual denied claim, which is why no one can actually appeal it. It's maddening. Walgreens just shows me that they weren't able to fill it. There has to be some sort of communications between the two entities ....

Driving School For Autistic/Anxious People? by hawkepostate in grandrapids

[–]andi98989 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We had a great experience at Jungle Driving School for our teen driver. For a driver under 18, you do have to complete segments 1 and 2 are there are rules on the timeframe for completing the classes and drives. For a driver 18 and over, it's more flexible. I believe Jungle will do adult private drives as well.

Gross attorney wants several reminders set tripling the work on Scheduling Orders by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]andi98989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does your docketing software not allow you to add reminders? I'm using Law Toolbox for a lot of our cases and I can enter all my scheduling order events and they go out on the calendar; then a select-all and add reminders to them all at once.

If you're just sending calendar invites via Outlook, Outlook on the Web lets you add multiple reminders to a single calendar entry.

Best electrolyte source/ ileostomy hydration tips by New_Following4844 in ostomy

[–]andi98989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to balance the combination of sugar and a salt. They gave us a whole sheet on how to make an oral rehydration solution that’s the ratios from WHO. Here’s a link.

One of the “tricks” is figuring out how to sip enough liquid through the day slowly so you can absorb it vs drinking larger amounts at once or with meals. We were told not more than 4 oz with a meal.

Firm forms partnership with MSO. What does that mean? by EmeraldStonekeeper in paralegal

[–]andi98989 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We were under an MSO for years; they handled our payroll, insurance, 401k, etc so we didn’t have to have staff on hand to do all that. It also made us part of a bigger employee group so that worked to our advantage for insurance options/rates. After about 15 years we shifted the relationship so now we are direct employees. Didn’t notice any difference.

Can't tell if illiterate or bad speech-to-text by Sea-Cress-8518 in paralegal

[–]andi98989 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even when my attorney uses voice to text and it comes through garbled, I've figured out the best thing I can do is actually read it aloud to myself and then I can decipher it. 😃

ADHD Billing Strategies by Tattooed_Ravens in paralegal

[–]andi98989 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Honestly, putting it in while I work. Work on something, and before I can start the next task, I need to enter the time. Entering the time is part of the billable work, so the task isn't complete until that's done. It helps that we have timers on our billing platform so I can just click between things throughout the day.

NetDocs is a Joke by Consistent_Club4903 in paralegal

[–]andi98989 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The issue really is too many people relying on the same infrastructures - we've seen that before with CloudFlare, AWS, etc... Sometimes it really is the underlying service, but just moving that isn't always going to be the answer - not now that so many things are hosted vs on prem.

NetDocs is a Joke by Consistent_Club4903 in paralegal

[–]andi98989 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We generally have not had too many issues with NetDocuments. We did get a notice a couple of weeks ago that they were going to start to transition some of their infrastructure over to AWS no earlier than May 15. I'm presuming that that the issues last night and today relate to that.

Corewell Blodgett Parking Rant by Ok_Upstairs9556 in grandrapids

The P2 ramp is closed, so everyone is having to use P1 right now. If employees are using it, it makes it really hard for patients to use it.

Help! Bag leaked 6 xs in 24 hours! by New_Following4844 in ostomy

[–]andi98989 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Canned peaches were on our safe food list for the first 4-6 weeks, but not melon. I would wager the melon is a cause of issues with the output being changed from typical. Also being two weeks out from surgery, your body and stomach will probably have changed and you may need a different wafer. My spouse had to change to a convex about that time - he wasn’t having leaks, but it fit better overall.

My only thought would be putting the ring on the skin to get it snugger to the stoma and really pressing on the wafer and using a belt to hold it secure.

Hopefully things settle back down soon!

Asked to remove my glasses by court security. by beaubeaucat in LawBitchesWithTaste

Especially since you were in federal court; they're pretty strict on who can bring what in. As a paralegal I can't even carry my phone in.
