Actually mine is that fast! My Ortho contacted them one afternoon and they already had my blood tests and MRIs in there from earlier in the day. They don't care if you actually paid those appointments they are the ones you owe for if they finish up your deductible or out of pocket... Because they were earlier you owe for those not the later appointment. Maybe within the same system, but some of the time I go to the Catholic hospital system and sometimes I go to Barnes Jewish. It depends on my mood. They don't have the same billing system and BCBS is not processing claims in real rime, it takes 24 to 48 hours. The healthcare system in America really varies and there are different laws and regulations in different states. It is not all the same. No, collecting everything up front is not standard practice everywhere, just like being billed isn't standard practice everywhere, it varies. This is the first PCP that i have ever had that doesnt collect co-pays at the time of service which I find annoying, especially since they send paper bills in the mail and dont have an online electronic billing system.

They can but for a big hospital system/doctor network it isn't worth their time. The only place I see calling all the time to check benefits is my dentist office, but they are not the most high tech system, and they are just a single private office. The whole reason Drs and Hospitals go to groups is to save money on administrative costs, thus centralized billing.

i dealt with 3 different hospital systems in in 2 different states to have my surgery completed last year. None of them collected more than co-pays up front. My PCP office doesn't even take copays for visits, they use a central billing department that mails out bills. My list of states and metro areas to never live in keeps getting longer every year. Also real time billing would tell nothing since some days i had multiple appointments and the morning test might have met my out of pocket before the afternoon test. Billing isnt that fast. Im self employed and buy my own policy, if there was ever a patient to try and collect on up front, it would be me. It just doesnt work like that around here. And time value of money, I am unwilling to take a chance on overpaying.

Lip balm. Dont take your lwn clothes i had 2 hospital gowns on, one front and one onbackwards to act as a robe. They probably wont let you wear your own stuff anyway. Have a pillow in the car. GasX strips are useless. And most hospitals do not want you using outside medicine. They will give you what need. Lip Balm is the most important thing. If you nave some kind of skincare routine, bring that.

I get billed for everything. Never charged up front. Insurance is so complicated they can't charge you up front. They have no way of knowing if you met your out of pocket and are covered at 100%. When i had surgery i had already maxed out for the year doing pre-op.

OMG the wonder twins are so terrible. Dr Now is a better plastic surgeon than them. He just did the best tummy tuck I have seen on the show on Shantae. But..... HE JUST DID A BREAST LIFT?!?!?!?!?! WITH Poor Ariel has terrible skin and genetics. She was so loose fat there was little hope for her when losing and her skin is so beat that her healing is terrible, but Dr Now to save the day. This show is just amazing in how terrible it is.

I started at a tight 28 and I got tops with no stretch in 30. I wore workout and lounge clothes for about 2 months. The first time I bought jeans I was in a 24. Then about 2 weeks later I got 22. Then 3 weeks later 20. Then I hovered in a 20 for about 6 weeks, then 18. I am almost 7 months out. I can wear 16 in some things but I am still mostly an 18. I expect to be a 16 fully by the end of the month.

I had a parent like this when I was younger. If people haven't had a parent like this, they won't understand. You can do nothing to change him and it isn't your job to. The fact you said he won't do counseling says a lot, I know the type. All you can do is try to minimize the damage they do to you, that is why I said find a happy place and go there. Work on this happy place daily, so when your Dad goes off, you can easily pull it up and escape there. Keep focused on losing weight and find a way out of the house. Don't look on cragislist for places to stay. Can you find a social worker? I know Michigan slashed the budget on most social services but see if you can find someone to help you at the SSI office. Also just so you can move out, try to get on section 8 or something. If you are on disability, that should help move you up the list.

I use flavor god seasonings. Most of my condiments are either trader joes or walden farms. I make my own tartar sauce with mayo (real or walden farms) dill relish (has to be dill so there is no sugar), and a dash of seasoning and a dab of mustard. I make my own honey mustard with mayo, yellow mustard and a few drops of liquid stevia. If you look at the ingredients of most commercial seasons in the store like marinades and all the packaged spices they are full of crap. Which is why I like Flavor God, almost all of them are paleo compliant.

I don't eat broccoli because it is too filling, I don't have enough room after Protein. I eat a cauliflower and zucchini. My biggest issue with veggies is I just don't have the room for them after protein, not a lack of tolerance. I eat eggplant also.

Plenty of losers settle down just for a roof over their head.

I started just a little higher than you. I have lost 101 lbs in about 6.5 months. I keep my calories between 750 and 850 and I have about 90 grams of Protein a day and less than 30 net carbs.

food scale http://www.amazon.com/Ozeri-Digital-Multifunction-Kitchen-Elegant/dp/B004164SRA/ref=sr_1_1?srs=2598028011&ie=UTF8&qid=1455165395&sr=8-1&keywords=food+scale In the beginning, don't try to get full. Weigh your food and eat the amount your program recommends. My program in the beginning was 2oz at a time, progressing each week.

Find a happy place/event in your head and when he goes off, just go to that place and block him out. Work on a plan to escape that house as soon as you can.

As a darker person, they judge if you are pale or not by your nail beds. I have been told this by doctors my whole life. The funny thing is my nails are so long, the oxygen thing never fit right on it anyway. They didn't make me clip my nails so it must not have been that critical.

I'm so nervous right now for how the wonder twins are going to butcher poor Ariel. She is adorable

I'm never buying more than one bra at a time until this is over. Well okay 2 bras one regular and one strapless. I went from a 48DD to a 42G. Everything is shrinking but my boobs are constant. Bras are the most annoying thing. At $60 a pop they are a pain to replace very 3 to 4 weeks

Your stomach is basically right below your sternum and is in your chest. If the pain and noises are coming from the lower part of your rib cage, that is your intestines. Depending on what I eat, if it hits my intestines fast, my intestines don't like it.

At 8 days out I could have yogurt if I wanted. What is your plan?

I'm vain so I enjoy looking good in clothes. However I didn't hate being fat and I didn't hate my body. If I could be fat and healthy I would be eating fried chicken right now. My health issues that were popping up made me choose to make a serious decision about my weight. I felt I was having old people problems at a young age. There are too many sacrifices to lose weight and go through surgery just to do it to be skinny or look a certain way for me personally. I bought my first item recently that wasn't plus sized. It feels great but not enough to be worth going through surgery for. Only health and quality of life made surgery worth it.

Is it up in your chest? Do you take anything for acid? The only noises I ever have are in my intestines.

I just wanted to add that by hungry all day I mean I want to eat all day. Even before surgery I never wanted to eat all day. I always liked to just have one meal a day really. I don't have physical hunger but some days I just feel like eating every 2 hours. I correct it with drinking lots of Water. How much water are you drinking each day?

Dr Now is an asshole. I hate the way he talked to her. Dr Summers in the UK doesn't talk to people like that and he has better results. The woman has a child with a serious illness that she was abandoned to care for by herself and she probably blames herself for the child's illness. Dr Now is a terrible plastic surgeon and an even worse shrink. You don't need a degree to realize the woman is eating to self medicate because she is worried to death about her kid. I hate Dr Now.

I find it hard to belive what she says mainly because I do not trust fame and attention seekers and it is too easy to lie on someone who doesn't have the same platform you have to defend themselves.

I'm finally watching this episode with Derek. That is one tree I would love to climb. His face is everything. I wouldn't mind the skin. Those nipples are like 4 inches apart though. Why?!?!?!? Lindsey's body is a disaster. Why are their closing stitches always so terrible. I knew they would suck at dark skin too and I wasn't disappointed. Another episode not a compression garment in sight. Lindsey regained comfort eating while recovering. And they never show them after surgery in their underwear but they don't mind fat shaming people in their undies to start the show. Her arms don't look better and that hour glass shape they promised doesn't exist. She is still covered in a lot of fat. She will have to wear shapewear or jiggle everywhere. This show enrages me. I don't date cops or security guards but Derek, I will make an exception.
