The "subcontractor" that handles Medicare, Part B. Got hacked. The "software" got hacked. Nothing to do with inventory or products or shortage. Safeway, Pharmacy, say's, they cannot "process" the paperwork to fill my prescription. I may try a different pharmacy. Thanks for the replies.

Currently, in the process of selling Mom's home. San Francisco, Bay Area. Desirable location. Homes still sell in less than a week. $3 million range. So Realtor's commision does make a huge difference. Currently we are negotiating. Seller agent 2% OK'd by seller agent...

Diabetes Test strips are covered under Medicare Part B. Since Feb 28th, trying to get my prescription filled at local Safeway Pharm. Was told, the 3rd party firm, that handles Medicare Part B was hacked. So they cannot fill my prescription for test strips. Pharmacist said they are still waiting...

2001 Honda Odyssey. Changed to LED about year ago. Like night and day. Do it now. 1. Be sure LED lights are plug and play. Before, LED required "resistors". Now, MFG. have them built in. 2. For other exterior lights, be aware of "hyper flash" (fast blinking) potential problem...

Well Care: Buying Jardiance at Costco vs Safeway. Save approx. $ 89 for the 2024 yr. Watch out for the "donut hole". This fooled me. Your out of pocket expense is not used to calculate ($ 4660, 2023 yr) when you enter the donut. ie. The out of pocket expense are the "retail" prices the...
