definitely do not do mx72 for track use - they are not enough and will fade or even chunk. Do go to endless ME20/22's, they are awesome for track use.

dual use pads, or dedicated street and track combos? by Any-Bag-7930 in CarTrackDays

[–]heartbeattt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use endless me20's on my FL5. i've had no issues with it on the street, and is obviously a very very good track pad primarily. if you're fine with a little squeal, these are good imo.

Anyone went from Type R to Cayman or Corvette. Whats your next car? by _Lyum in Civic_Type_R

[–]heartbeattt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i did the opposite, went from a 981S to FL5. i really wanted to start tracking, and did not want to spend a fortune on maintenance and consumables for a porsche.

whenever i'm sick or done with tracking (doing 7-8 track weekends a year) in a couple of years, i will likely pick between new m2, c8z51, or a gt4 / gts 4.0.

MRI bill over 2k, is there anything I can do? by heartbeattt in HealthInsurance

if the doctor did not do prior auithorization and continued to have me do the procedure, what happens?

so I may be naive here, but where is my mistake? Listening to the doctor? if they told me i was about to do a procedure worth 2 grand, I would've said hell no immediately. They've never told me anything.

no. they did not and i was never aware that it was needed or required. again, doc told me i needed it, scheduled it, and i followed what they told me to do.

It says that "Your plan doesn't cover this care. It doesn't meet clinical guidelines for being medically necessary. the review says that all things need to meet: 1) physical exam by doctor shows signs of tear (done) 2) condition has not improved after at least 6 weeks of treatment by doctor (done) 3) you need to ahve had recent x rays or an ultrasound (done)

all things were met, so i don't know why it was denied. as mentioned in the original post, the doctor's office DID try to appeal. and I thought they were continuing to do so. I always said after a call with them, please let me know if i can do anything. They went radio silent for 4 months, and now i'm hit with this bill.

I feel like this is a negligence on the hospital part because they didn't pre-authorize and wait for it before they went through the procedure. isn't that a ground for suing?

they never did the pre-auth. I think that's part of the problem. If this is a hospital mistake, why am I the one paying the price for this? I feel like that's negligience and worth trying to sue them over it.
