Just curious about the use cases

I was looking at what was considered preventative. Apparently only women have anxiety (in America)

Edit: just received a letter from them about complying with Federal civil rights, saying they do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or race. They direct me to a cite where I can file a formal complaint through the Office for Civil Rights. While this does not directly affect me, I will be filing a complaint. My hope is this is just a discrepancy and anxiety screenings are indeed covered as preventative for men! However, I have found it listed this way across various documents.

These places are completely free, because some people donated their money to keep these medical facilities and clinics afloat. People who choose to pay or use insurance have also helped out. Also, free for a wide range of services while surgery is subjective for cost depending on medical facility/clinic. There are still problems for free clinics like long waits. We’ve even had homeless women have to shielded by Pro life protestors because they entering a women’s clinic that can do abortions. They were using free exam services and not pregnant at all. These free health facilities and clinics exist all over the U.S.

Hi all, thanks for reading. Trying to quickly get caught up with Medicaid and healthcare options, so any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Mom lives in an assisted-living facility due to MS, and needs 16 hours a day of care. The home charges $300/day for this care, which was previously covered by Medicaid. I'm not entirely sure how she qualified for Medicaid before while my dad was working, but something has changed now that he's retired and has access to his annuity/IRA - there's technically too much in the account now to qualify for Medicaid, but it's nowhere near enough to sustain paying for this assisted living facility at $8k/month.

Are there any other avenues we could look at to solve this? It's way too much money to feasibly afford out of pocket. They're looking at divorce as an option. Not sure if switching to Medicare is a possibility, or if any other state/federal assistance programs could help with this.

Basically the title. Has there been any other negative effects from its repeal?

If anyone is wondering what a 60 minute consultation looks like at Telemynd, feast your eyes! And I still have friends that think Healthcare in the US needs to be expensive....

I went to urgent care a few weeks ago for a wrist/hand injury. The PA came and looked at it for about 2 minutes, then sent me for x-rays, came back and told me it wasn’t broken and sent me on my way.

That 2 minutes in the room with me and then maybe 10 minutes to examine the x-rays was billed as 99203 (30-44 min office visit) for $357 dollars.

The description of the code does state that any time used to review my medical charts/history etc. counts towards the time spent with me. And I don’t know what the PA was doing when they weren’t in the room. But it seems HIGHLY unlikely that they actually spent 30-44 minutes working with me. The PA and I were only in the exam room together for a grand total of MAYBE 5 minutes.

It’s just mind boggling that I’m getting charged $357 for about 5 minutes of time.

I think my lack of interactions with the healthcare industry might be showing here, but nonetheless…

Make it make sense.

I (33F) am moving from Mel, Australia to Dallas, Texas in a few weeks and my work has given me a Benefits gits overview document which sets out different types of insurance.

I am not sure how to read PPO & HDHP, and what I should really choose. I’ve tried reading on some stuff but I’m still very unclear - I also don’t want to choose the wrong thing.

I will need regular medication from a doctor as I am on Lexapro here and will need to continue this when over in US. I’m not usually one to visit doctor’s regularly either (unless I need the script filled). i doneed to visit a dentist regularly for cleans etc (every 6 months)

Can someone with better knowledge pls help me decipher.

My mother is an AIN (assistant in nursing) for aged care and hospital recovery for many years now as well as having a lot of patient care service work experience. She just can't handle it physically anymore (She's 60). She has quite a few qualifications like in allied health assistance too.

Are there any jobs that you can either just sit on a chair and do phone call computer stuff and/or work from home in this sector? She earns about $23 USD an hour. Any job positions in this area that around about earns the same without her needing to do any further studying?

Thank you so much!

Hello all,

​

I'm currently trying to create research and notes in search of a great Masters program for Masters in Healthcare Administration (MHA).

Is there any resource or suggestions anyone can provide for a top Masters program in the Northeast? I'm based in the NY/NJ area. Thanks.

Current sonographer. I hold an associates of applied science degree. 1 year of supervisory experience. I would like to eventually get away from the direct patient care side. I have been exploring the idea to obtain a masters degree in healthcare administration. Would this be a promising opportunity? Are there any other promising exit strategies post sonography?

Thanks for any advice/input

Hey!

I want the opinions of the masses before I bring this up.

I work at state and federal skilled nursing facility as a RN.

We frequently work 16s at least once a week due to mandated hours.

We get half an hour unpaid lunches. However, on NOC shift we cannot leave the building.

Management downsized our break room and removed all couches or loveseat that someone could cat nap on. In addition, we all got memos about how we cannot take breaks in the lobby of the facility or shared spaces of patients and families.

I frequently try to nap on my unpaid 30 min breaks- but now I can't per my management rules. Other staff are upset as well, but we are told sleeping, even during breaks, is not condoned. I would go to my car- but I can't on NOC shift.

Is this a valid concern? Can I try to fight this? If needed could this be considered an employee health situation with OSHA?

I just want some formulated opinions before I make my decision.

I feel sick most of the time, I got prematurely kicked off my dad’s insurance and had to quit taking my medicines. I have been applying since November of last year and have been getting denied. I have no money and live paycheck to paycheck. I don’t know what to do, I desperately need medical care but I am already in debt that I can’t pay off. Any help would be majorly appreciated.

EDIT: Thank you all for the help. I was freaking out the other day and I feel better equipped to move forward. Thank you all
