Has anybody tried any makeup or skincare products from 100 Percent Pure? I see a lot of stuff online about how great they are, but I don't put much stock in youtubers since I know they are paid to promote everything. This brand claims to only use "natural" ingredients, and looking at the ingredients list of most of their products this seems to be legit. They're a little bit pricey for me but I'm willing to invest if they're actually good! Any reviews?
Long story short, I need another spinal fusion with my original surgeon. He is out of network and has always been. I have 80/20 out of network benefits, as i always have.
Provider is telling me I will have to pay majority of the procedure out of pocket as insurance is only covering 5k of it, which is devastating as I cannot possibly do that (nor can most). Last time, they paid 50k. Their explanation simply was "insurance has changed in the past few years, thats how it is."
This was the entire reason why I stay with out of network benefits. Why would they only pay 5k? That is way below the 80/20 benefits that I have. She explained to me that was the contracted rate. But if they still charge X over the 5k, wouldnt I still only be responsible for 20% of the X charge? Couldnt i still endorse the 80% check over to the provider?
Can someone dumb this down for me and explain how this can be? I tried calling my carrier, they said that doesnt sound right at all but couldn't give me any more info without preauth, and provider is refusing to send for preauth because they're non participating... I am very confused. How could i even have the surgery with my oon benefits without preauth in the first place? :(
I need this to be able to have a child. I have literally been crying the past few days (melodramatic I know). He is a neurosurgeon. The only other surgeons in my network who will perform this are only orthopedic surgeons - not neurosurgeons.
I'm just confused as to why this coverage is the way it is - 5k of a 50k+ surgery - and how i am responsible for 100% of the remainder of that when i have 80/20 oon benefits. Can someone explain?
Hi there! So recently I’ve been prescribed fraxiparine over the phone by a doctor as a prevention for a long flight. I’ve been diagnosed with Leiden mutation this winter so I’ve never used this drug before. Do you think it’s ok that she prescribed it without even seeing me? I dont want to bitch about this doctor but as a medical students it gets me thinking whether i would do something like that in the future.
Have any of you doctors moved from a clinical role to a full time Academic/research role?
Hello Natural Beauty peeps!
I was just wondering what are your takes on natural products being sold at places like Marshall's / Winner's? Do you have brands/products you love there and swear by? Do you have products you would never buy from those places?
I'm interested in hearing about it! I've so far gotten myself just body wash as they seem to be a good deal.
