This might be a dumb question, but is there any way to see "Thanks Sent" in our User CP?

Has anyone seen the new rates for June 2024 - May 2025? It may be a stupid question as I do not know if their "AGE 77 STANDARD RATE INCREASE / AGE 81 STANDARD RATE INCREASE" occurs in June for all states. It's June for me and DW. Your discounts are based on these standard rate increases...

Just wanting to get some feedback on other people's experience with this type of surgery. I'm looking at fusing L5-S1. Also considering expanding this to L4-S1 as I don't want to go through this procedure again. Interested in recovery times, pain involved, any problems incurred. I know it is...

Not a timely subject, but I'm curious what other folk's experiences have been on this subject. DW and I have switched between Aetna and WellCare over the past several years. Both companies use CVS Caremark for their mail order Rx's. Up until 2022, I've been successful in transferring Rx's...

I've searched the forums and even called Medicare with this question. I can't seem to get an understandable answer. I don't have a problem, I'm just wanting to try to understand the nomenclator. On any and all Medicare website claim details, they show a "Total Amount Charged" which is almost...

I've been a member since 2006. I still don't understand my User CP subscription display. I enable instant email notifications on all posts, whether they are a new Thread I started, or just a reply to an existing Thread. They never show up under "New Subscribed Threads". I have to go to "View...

I'm posting this from an information standpoint for others. I have had traditional Medicare plus a UHC Medigap policy for close to two years. No real problems, but thought I would point out the "glitch" possibility with how the two work together through the Medicare "auto-crossover" system...

I'm thinking of changing doctors and just wonder if times have changed and I just have too high of an expectation anymore. Currently, it seems like all my family practice doctor does is prescribe Rx's. Anything else gets referred to a specialist. In the past, I've had regular family doctors do...

Title says it all. How can I do this, or can I? Thanks for any replies!

I'm in Ohio. Long story, but I just changed to a AARP UHC Medigap Supplemental Plan from another company within one week of my Medigap open enrollment ending. It is finalized and I've paid my first premium. Out of curiosity, and with some interest in Plan N, I called UHC today and asked what...

I will be signing up for Medicare early next year. I have spent months reading and researching Medicare, Medigap, Medicare Advantage, and Part D plans both here, in two books, and by looking at all my options online. I live in Ohio and have spoken to our SHIP state insurance group several...

Just passed my three year FIRE anniversary! Financial plan looks more solid than ever, thanks to the markets. What daily routines I have are good and hobbies are still going strong. I do have occasional early morning concerns about how to fill the day, but then the day just seems to take care of...

I'm still employed, but planning ER in about 6 long...... months. I plan to stick with what is left of my company's retirement medical coverage, but am confused about some of the posts and premiums I read in this forum. I admit, I've not spent a ton of time investigating the subject yet. I...

Studying about taking a lump sum or annuity on my pension. I'm factoring in what I would receive from the Fed if my company nosed down on my pension and I had chosen the annuity benefit (pension gets gets frozen 12/31/08 : ( The PBGC's max benefit is based on age. Is this simply the age you...

Hello folks! Made my first post a few minutes ago and have been roaming the board for a few months. I'm 52 with a good paying job ($160/yr + some 5 figure bonuses) which is becoming intolerable. I've been with this company for a little over 30 years which qualifies me for retirement and...

With the shift in interest rates and the new laws being phased in tieing lump sum calculations to a modified corp. bond rate instead of just the treasury rate, I'm toying with taking a pension as an annuity. My concern is if my company later defaults on it's pension and the government has to...
