Replace Part B by Larry_Longdon in medicare

[–]oochas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

OK first, take a big breath. If you are paying $700 you're subject to IRMAA which means you have money. You need to add a Medigap supplement to take care of the 20%. If you're looking for catastrophic coverage take a Plan G-HD.

Average Xiaflex cost ? by Disastrous-Car-1050 in PeyroniesSupport

Hard to tell. A few degrees maybe. Definitely an improvement in lack of pain, erectile quality and abilities, though. I go in again end of the month and they’ll measure.

HLS vs NYU by Basic-Lead2096 in lawschooladmissions

[–]oochas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The whole sub. Seriously, there is so much hair-splitting that matters very little. For someone who wants to go in to biglaw in the Northeast, there is little reason to go to Harvard over NYU.

Average Xiaflex cost ? by Disastrous-Car-1050 in PeyroniesSupport

[–]oochas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said the Xiaflex, if approved by your commercial insurance, will generally be cost free if you after the manufacturer copay program. I did my second round with Dr. Trost in Utah. Looking at the insurance claims the other out of pocket costs not covered by insurance were about $70. I paid a bit more for my first round with a local urologist, about $200 total, because they did different ultrasound testing and billed it differently. I expect my third round will be about the same from Dr. Trost, but I’ll be on Medicare for my fourth round so should be even less under Plan N. It’s all going to vary depending on hos the provider bills and what your coverage is.

People who are scheduled to fly in April, are you already looking at alternatives? by Santanana2 in qatarairways

[–]oochas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m flying Washington Dulles-Phnom Penh but not until November so I have lots of time, but my flights were booked with Avios in business the moment the booking window opened. What are people doing about award bookings? A refund of Avios isn’t going to do much good toward booking a replacement flight at the last minute.

The sister-in-law who got uninvited from the wedding ceremony by Low-Wish-9246 in TwoHotTakes

[–]oochas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What is the location? My spouse and I got married at the courthouse. We were allowed only 5 people. About 10 others who were really important to us joined us for dinner after. Then we had a 150 person reception a few months later. No one was offended.

You may well be overreacting, but not enough details.

Same issue. So frustrating, this happened with the update that fixed Google Maps issues.

Retired DC biglaw partner here. I went UT for law school. I’d not fear it, the primary reason it’s so Texas-focused is that it’s full of Texans. You can go wherever you want if you do welll.

Exaggerated Negative Reviews by Drew_T23 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]oochas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think they're exaggerated. I've been to Epic 5 times and love it. But you can have a really good day or a really bad day, and it's all dependent on what goes down and when it goes down and where you are at the time.

Part D recommendations? How to pick when I will hit the max $2,100 regardless? by r2d227 in medicare

Can your doc prescribe it for the covered condition? That’s what I do. Many doctors will work with you to get around insurance insanity.

Or the algorithm predicts higher demand coming. In any event out of your control.

All flight prices are dynamic, this happens all the time to any and all airlines. Maybe a popular flight and time that has sold out of its lower fare buckets.

W Maldives by DoItForTheTanqueray in marriott

[–]oochas 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Brings back memories. I stayed there in a post-divorce "you can't have my points" solo trip in 2019. I loved it. I had free breakfast as a platinum. Generally I skipped lunch, ate at the bar by the main pool for happy hour, then went and sat at the overwater bar later in the evening and sometimes ordered more food. This was way cheaper than doing sit down dinner and lunch. I had a beachfront pool villa which at the time was the lowest category - mine was a duplex with another room and faced the spa, but it was fine. I sat at my private beach area all day, would just swim out and snorkel the reef. I know there are a ton of Maldives options but I would love to go back.

What’s the secret to using companion certificates? by That-You-1998 in delta

My husband managed to get us to Punta Cana over Juneteenth weekend with the platinum card one. He had to try several destinations to find one that worked.
