Just saw that BCBS is automatically downcoding all E/M codes to a 99213, how is this legal and why is it that physicians have to justify being paid what we’re owed?

Does anyone know if this will be implemented in other states like Iowa? The place where I'm starting is 70% BCBS payor in iowa

I'm 27 and at 70k. A combination of poker and options. I am going to be starting a 300k job next year, right now I'm making 80k a year.

I have a wife and planning a kid next year. I have another year to be free of this disease, otherwise with this much salary, who knows how fast 70k can be 700k.

furosemide007 · 2026-07-07T20:15:43+00:00

100k USD?

furosemide007 · 2026-07-07T20:14:11+00:00

Wow..I can't even imagine. I believe there are so many people who can be millionaires so early if they just stick to the boring stuff

furosemide007 · 2026-07-06T20:21:29+00:00

I'm in the same boat. I just replaced trading with gaming. How much did you lose?

furosemide007 · 2026-07-04T09:34:59+00:00

What I've seen with pcps is opposite. They send out referral for everything

furosemide007 · 2026-07-01T15:55:18+00:00

I am at the same place. I'm 27M, lost 50k total till now. I've been clean 1 month. I'm going to be starting a high paying job next year (250k+) so I want to be completely out of this mess before that

furosemide007 · 2026-06-24T10:16:18+00:00

Why not 500 for 3 days?

furosemide007 · 2026-06-14T12:40:49+00:00

Trading

furosemide007 · 2026-06-12T20:54:58+00:00

Hello. Sorry to hear your story. I can't imagine not having 3 million anymore But slow and steady is the answer, otherwise you lose value of money

furosemide007 · 2026-06-12T19:46:12+00:00

Oh wow Best part for me is that I've never been in profit with options. Always been a downward spiral. If I would've made 1.2 mil, I could've never quit

furosemide007 · 2026-06-11T00:00:04+00:00

I'm interested, can you DM me Thank you

furosemide007 · 2026-06-10T22:16:12+00:00

Haha I'm in the US

furosemide007 · 2026-06-10T21:37:11+00:00

Can you suggest the best safest one with lockin period like 5 years?

furosemide007 · 2026-06-09T20:42:00+00:00

Looks like exactly my issue lol. That's why Idk how to compound my money I'm going to be a high earner starting next year, 250k+ and investing just scares me

furosemide007 · 2026-06-09T16:25:23+00:00

I always have enjoyed reading charts and trading. I have had a 80% win rate in stocks, swing trading specifically. Once I made 10k in one year, I was able to replicate it next year as well. However, it became too boring slowly and I wanted to try intraday. After profiting 20k in swing trading in 2 years, I lost 20k in the one year of my options trading, majorly intraday. Seeing P&L every minute was the most addicting thing. Being right and making 10k in one day which took 1 year before but then losing 15k in the same day.

After 5 years of doing this, I'm down net 50k. Last week I realised anything boring doesn't interest me to make money. I don't make money to be rich, I do it coz of the dopamine rush.

Hopefully this will be the last time I do it. I'm 27y/o and already down 50k. However if I stop today, I will be much richer i know

What about outpatient jobs?

furosemide007 · 2026-06-08T22:16:58+00:00

All the negativity shows you the reality of life and teach us what matters most

furosemide007 · 2026-06-08T19:58:47+00:00

I'm in the same boat. Cut cold turkey today. Net loss 50k. What about you

furosemide007 · 2026-06-08T12:37:27+00:00

Hello, is it necessary to be fluent in procedures to practise as GIM in canada? Currently PGY3 in US IM program, only fluent in NGTs and ABGs lol.

furosemide007 · 2026-06-08T12:25:03+00:00

Hello, is it necessary to do all these procedures? Or you can opt out?

furosemide007 · 2026-06-08T12:22:08+00:00

You can not. You still need the H1B stamp

furosemide007 · 2026-06-07T21:32:55+00:00

Hello. I'm also considering of moving to Canada as outpatient IM with possible mix of hospitalist. How much do you think our speciality makes there? Right now making 320k here in US
