My Pharmacy Found an Alternative Courier That Can Ship Medication from Canada to the U.S. During Canada Post Strike

By    08:31 // No comments

This has honestly been one of the toughest years for anyone who depends on getting their medication from Canada. First, the new tariff changes caused most Canadian pharmacies to start passing extra costs back to patients in the U.S. Then the Canada Post strike hit (again), and many pharmacies completely stopped shipping.

After a few stressful days of searching and calling around, I finally found a pharmacy that’s still able to ship to the U.S.and isn’t adding any tariff surcharge. They told me they’ve arranged an alternative courier to handle U.S. deliveries, and shipments are going out on their regular schedule.

I wanted to share this in case anyone else is struggling to get their prescriptions filled right now. I’m not sure if it’s okay to name the pharmacy here, but if you’re having trouble finding one that’s still shipping, I am happy to share what worked for me. They are a pharmacy in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Difference between Wellness Exams and Primary Care Visits?

By    00:31 // No comments

I haven’t been do a doctor in at least 10 years and I figured I should get myself checked out. I’m looking through my insurance website and they have two services I was unsure of.

*Prevantative Care - Wellness Exams

*Provider Visits - Primary Care Provider In-Person Visit

Are these the same thing? Can a primary care visit perform the same checks as a wellness exam?

Should I apply for a PCT position as someone who has no healthcare experience?

By    12:31 // No comments

I am in school doing prerequisites to apply to a nuclear medicine program. I will be taking 5 classes starting in January, ends in late December. At first I wanted to try Monitor technician, but the course is too expensive so I can’t afford it right now. I would love to apply to imaging facilities, but I really need something that is at night and able to work 3 days out of the week so I can focus on classes. I saw that I don’t need a certification to become a pct where I live and thought I could try it out to get my foot in the door, but is it beneficial to me since it’s a different ball field from what I want to do as a career? If anything I thought about finding a PRN job, but I think that is for someone with experience. Do I have the choice of picking what floor I want to work on? What would you say is the best unit/floor to work on? What is your day to day like? 100% honesty.

referring companies

By    04:31 // No comments

Hey everyone,

I’m working with a software company that helps NEMT dispatchers and transport providers optimize their operations.

If you know any transportation or dispatch companies, this can turn into passive income.

Each referred company just needs to mention your full name and contact info in their intro email so the bonus gets linked to you.

What to do if the referral reason to a specialist is inaccurate?

By    05:31 // No comments

I saw a temporary PCP (covering my PCP for one day because they re-located), and I noticed they wrote on the after visit notes and the referral 'multiple joint pain' which is inaccurate. I'm afraid this will affect my diagnosis later when I see the specialist, and insurance covering. And I just don't want to keep that in my chart. How I can fix this? I have a new PCP in the same clinic now.

Why would charges be reversed but not payments?

By    02:31 // No comments

I’m looking at the healthcare claims data for a client of ours, and I look at the appointment, in the charge data, and I see a reversal happening, but when I look at the corresponding collections data, the payment is not being reversed. I look at the task details and it just says ‘claim voided’ or something, like it would be either billing the wrong insurance so a refund needs to be provided, but there is reversal of the payment hitting the books. There is an ERROR cpt code that has a ton of negative payments though. Could those be the reversals of the payments?

Medication coverage 2026: GLP-1’s

By    02:31 // No comments

This probably will be changes across the board with insurance companies concerning what the federal government has proposed to be effective in 2026 with the cuts to ACA.

I received a notification from my HR department that GLP – 1 medication’s will no longer be covered in 2026 for weight loss unless you are a type 2 diabetic.

The following are no exceptions: sleep apnea pre-diabetic hypothyroidism hormonal conditions ETC- any other conditions that make weight loss difficult.

My company is not cheap and is reasonable but the additional out of plan cost for this medication to be covered was an additional $3-4 million. I understand there are other factors that play, but the fact that this medication coverage alone has this much of a cost impact is surprising. Other medications will be increasing based on tiers but this was the highlight in coverage changes.

I’m afraid of what my health insurance is going to look like with the increases even without this option, even though it does personally affect me. I was finally making progress with my weight loss journey. After a year and a half without the medication seeing no results while working with a nutritionist and a personal trainer. I’ve lost a total of 35 pounds in eight months and the food noise has finally disappeared. 2026 won’t be easy, but I hope people know we are not alone and that change does need to happen.

The fat and happy saying exists but I don’t it will be applicable to the USA. We will just be fat cause I don’t understand how some people can be happy with this administration.
