Eye Doctor Won’t Respond – Need Advice on Insurance Reimbursement

I had an eye exam back in December while using COBRA for my vision insurance (VSP). For some reason, the provider couldn’t find my coverage at the time, so I paid out of pocket and have been working with VSP to get reimbursed. However, the provider’s office has been unresponsive.

Both my benefits specialist and VSP have tried reaching out to them with no success. I finally got someone on the phone who promised to call me back by the end of the day but never did. Now, when I try calling, the phone just rings, and my follow-up email has gone unanswered.

Unfortunately, I’ve since moved out of the city, so I can’t go in person. At this point, I’m not sure what else to do. Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Any advice on how to get them to respond?

Transition Profession from private caregiver

Hi all, my mom recently lost her job as private caregiver. Sadly, the person who she was taking care of passed away. I came here to try and help my mom.

I am looking for advice to see if anyone has experience or knows of transitioning from a caregiver role to another healthcare role with NO education experience, simply work experience.

My mom has been doing this for over 20 years and has experience with Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, and frontal temporal lobe disorder.

I am worried about my mom finding another job as finding a well paying private caregiver role is very difficult and the stability isn’t there. I am in the legal space so I don’t know much about how the health care industry works. Any advice you can offer is greatly appreciated!

TLDR: my mom lost her private caregiver job. Anyone have experience transitioning into the medical field with no educational experience?

Masters in Health Care Management (How Much University Matters?)

My wife is currently enrolled in Bachelors in Health Care Management. She is planning to do masters in Health Care Management. I have few questions:

  1. Can she get a job with her under grad degree in health care management?

  2. If she can get a job with her under grad degree on health care management how hard is it to get the employee to sponsor her masters degree?

  3. Does it really matter where she get her masters? How much the name of the university matters when getting a job after completing the masters?

The Contec CMS8000 is manufactured by Contec Medical Systems, a China-based company supplying medical devices to hospitals and clinics worldwide, including the U.S. and the European Union.
