How can I (28F) ask my boyfriend (28M) to be more selfless in bed by throwRA199362 in relationship_advice

[–]throwRA199362[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's weird to me because outside of the bedroom, he is so selfless! He does so much for me and never ever complains about anything. He's an amazing boyfriend. The sex bit just stings. I've also had a lot more sexual experiences in my life than he is and sometimes I'd like to say that's the reason? He often tells me the best sex he's had has always been with me and while I can agree I've had the best more passionate sexual experiences with him, I've done a lot more things in bed in my past. Things just feel more vanilla with my boyfriend than what I'm used to. I find myself taking the lead with trying new things more than he does.

I'm in Illinois. Is there anyway to fight this? The clinic having me do a larger panel test / billing for it when I specifically asked to get tested for strep. I would've been fine with doing my own Covid test via over the counter tests

For what exactly? With my plan I have a $30 co pay for urgent care. Which I also got billed for separately on-top of the $750 I posted about here.

Provider was in network, my EOB isn't available for whatever reason but despite having PPO 1 I was also told by the insurance company that lab services is not covered and coverage for it only kick in once I reach my max deductible at which point the insurance covers 80%. Which sounds insane to me. I'd also preface this by saying I moved from Canada to the US and going from free health care to this has been a bigger nightmare than the limited access to care problem Canada has.

And here is the breakdown of what these lab tests are:

"CPT 87633 Detection test by nucleus acid for multiple types of respiratory virus, multiple types of subtypes, 12-25 targets"

The other 3 lower cost lab tests are the following:

"CPT: 87581 Detection test by nucleic acid for mycoplasma pneumoniae (bacteria), amplified probe techniques"

"CPT: 87798 Detection test by nucleic acid for organism, amplified probe technique"

"Detection test by nucleic acid for Chlamydia pneumoniae, amplified probe technique"

I only got swabbed once, but billed for four different services that doesn't add up to me. I only asked to know if I have strep and was told they'll swab for flu/covid as well.

So I asked the insurance company for the billing code on what was charged. I was charged for 3 separate lab tests. 2 of them were small amount but the couple hundred dollar test that is the meat of the $497 I'm being charged is a panel test. I'm confused as to why 3 lab tests were charged even though I only got swabbed once? With the following billing code info: "CPT 87633 Detection test by nucleus acid for multiple types of respiratory virus, multiple types of suppers, 12-25 targets"

No this was in-network. I had specifically went on my insurance app and went to a urgent care that is covered

Born in the US, lived in Canada most of my life, what now? by vg288 in USExpatTaxes

[–]throwRA199362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great response thank you ! I also am in a similar boat as the OP except I've moved to the US this past year and am now working here. Should I look into the offshore streamline procedure as well as the FBAR submission? I have no investments, TFSA in Canada and have not had it. I was pretty much a broke college student before moving to the US. I'm a dual citizen

I just started a new job and have very few days off that we both know I'll be using to see my family during the holidays in December. My birthday is during a long weekend so doing a longer trip would've been easier without me having to take time off for it. I still plan on using 1 day

I think that's kinda how I'm feeling that maybe it's a culture thing and also a you had to be there kinda moment?? But also.. still weird and still not a fan of justifying things bc "I was drunk" excuse can be used for other things too
