    Awhile back my annual physical exam was done by a female APRN that was new to the medical practice.
    She was the ex-girlfriend of one of my buddys.
    First thing I did when I got home was text him "Guess who just checked me for a hernia and gave me a prostate exam and all it cost me was $15 co-pay!"
    Lot less than he spent on dinner and drinks...

    I'm more impressed by the $15 co-pay!

    I go in for mine next week and it's probably gonna be $45 now that my insurance company and health provider came to an "agreement" :annoyed:

    Morning stockers :hattip: have some blood work coming up, then my annual physical in February. This will be the first time my insurance will be completely Medicare, can’t wait to find out what my copayments are. Signing up for it was a 45 minute phone call from hell. It’s criminal how difficult they make it for people that have no experience in healthcare benefits.:canada:

    I didn't notice any change in my co-pays. Though I do have a part C plan also, as part of my retirement benefits from my former employer.

    That’s good :thumbsup: I’m flying completely solo, medical, dental, optical. $380 a month for insurance cost, plus copays , prescription drug plan really bumps up the insurance cost. Probably start buying my meds from Canada, have heard that it’s much cheaper. We’ll see how it goes :fingerscrossed:

    Customer just asked to reshedule the job I had scheduled for today and tomorrow. Looks like I have a couple days off now. I'm billing them 1/2 my labor for the less than 24hr cancellation/reschedule.

    I’m happy-happy-happy-happy, going to play in the snow again. I really do enjoy doing my snow. Roof raked the roof yesterday, some clean up work today. We’re getting a warm up today and tomorrow. :thumbsup: It’s just a cover up, so I can get the home made hot chocolate from my wife :D

    I used to get all wound up about it. Now I just brush it off and send the bill.

    I now disclose my policy when we agree on the work/price. Verbally has worked until now.

    If people want a written estimate/contract (I use a simple Word doc), it's in there too. The document doesn't need to be fancy.

    I await your review. I haven't bought a new funnel for at least 20 yrs ... that might be a useful update. :popcorn:

    Yes Sunshine, as Jim said, "Happy-Happy-Happy!" :D
    No kidding? That's cool ... dental is the only thing not covered through VA/Tricare for me. :jellydance:
