  • Re: Do doctors like Medic

    Mike,

    It is a supplement F from UHC. I have no expenses at all for
    doctor visits, medical equipment, and much more. I have a
    large payment upfront but no expenses afterwards.

    I dropped WellCare, and went with UHC. I just did an interview on
    their plan the other day, and as a reward, I requested a $100 gift
    card from Papa John's Pizza. I should have that in about a week, and
    that'll give me some extra meals...although the tagline below comes
    to mind. <G>

    So far this year, I have paid very little for my meds. I just ordered my insulin. Not sure
    how much that will be, but it's the only one I am worried about.

    Mike,

    ordered my insulin. Not sure how much that will be, but it's
    the only one I am worried about.

    I don't have to pay for any of my prescription drugs, or PCP visits.
    There's a $30 co-pay for specialists, though. At least my local area
    pharmacy offers free delivery.

    The insulin price remained the same: $35 per month which was the price under the ACA
    (Affordable Care Act). I guess I can't kick about that. Of course, at my age it's hard to
    kick anything without losing my balance :)

    I'm right at the edge of type 2 diabetes (6.2 A1C last November),
    but I don't see my PCP again until late May.

    As for kicking, we certainly don't want to do "the bucket" <G>...
    and I'm like you...if I try to kick, I'll fall flat on my butt, and
    get another crack in it. <G>

    I don't think there is any health care provider that can fix a second crack, so be sure to
    watch your a$$.
