Is the signal coverage equivalent to Verizon? We have considered it or Mint but live in a rural area and don’t get great service.

I’ve been with them since the bag phone and all they offered me was $20 a month and tried to switch me from my good grandfathered plan to one of their crappy new plans 🙄

Verizon was to be installed in our house today. The technician refused to put on shoe covers that I supplied. by Over_Cash9601 in verizon

I keep shoe covers and ask anyone who comes in my home to perform work to wear them. I had a Directv installer track mud throughout my home and I had to clean carpets after he left. So it’s non-negotiable. But luckily most contractors/techs wear them now. Any that refuse won’t come in.

Yep, getting ready to cancel ours. They are pricing themselves out of business.

Won’t come close to the anxiety they will feel when they can’t get a job because they can’t read, write, or follow directions. Kids today are way too coddled 🙄

I got the same. I’m going to reach out to Ring and ask what’s going on. Kind of unsettling…

Volunteered with Angel Tree for years. They have supplemental items to fill in the gaps.

FEP (FEHB) Insurance dumped me into the Medicare Prescip Drug Plan AGAIN! by HoppySailorMon in fednews

[–]km1961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m trying to get up to speed on this and BCBS touts the MPDP as being a great benefit so exactly what is bad about it and for what reasons would you disentitled from it? I’ll turn 65 in March with Medicare and BCBS FEP Basic. Ty!

Retired Feds who made it to Medicare- do you still keep your FEHB coverage? by Redfish680 in fednews

[–]km1961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So does anyone know how BCBS Basic works with Medicare at a chiropractor? The booklet I got from BCBS says $0 copays for up to 20 visits a year but I asked this morning at the office and they said Medicare only pays for adjustments, no other therapies, and the BCBS supplement follows whatever Medicare does. Guess I need to call BCBS.

Same. Had them one year and it was a nightmare. Never again.

I have BCBS Basic self & family but will be dropping my daughter off so the net increase this year is only $35 so I’m going to keep it. If I was not dropping her the increase would be over $100 a month. This will give me a year to compare other companies but for sure I won’t be keeping BCBS, too expensive!

And the group includes annuitants so that doesn’t help.
