402504 tn?1241996524 It is my recommendation that people do not try to read their own MRIs. I know that it is beguilingly attractive to do it. It's hard not to. But, even after a year of neuroanatomy in med school and a career of looking at MRIs in practice (after they had been read), I do not even attempt to read them. Bright things may be normal structures that are left over from previous slices, they may be blood vessels. You cannot learn to read an MRI from looking at examples online.
Avatar f tn Hi Frrecks, I'm sorry that I don't know anything about the insurance, since we still have private insurance. It has to be so difficult to set aside the financial worries and concentrate on feeling better. I do know a lot of the DMD companies have programs to assist anyone without insurance. As for my private insurance cost, my employer just finished the open enrollment for next year and here is what I will be paying for my health insurance - $238.00 a month for me and my spouse.
Avatar n tn Depending on your salary alone, you may be entitled to more than just health insurance. For example, I was on maternity for most of 2013, and went back to work part-time for several months. I filed my income taxes married but seperate so when they looked at my income, they actually sent me a benefits card for me and "unborn 1" ha. I already have a 1.5yr old and she qualified for health insurance regardles.
Avatar f tn Like someone else said , the ONLY way to know how your insurance works and what is covered is to call your insurance and ask about your specific policy. I worked for a major health insurance company for years and the biggest mistake you can make is not calling them in advance. I also recommend finding out what options you have for permanent coverage for your baby.
387294 tn?1207620185 My son and daughter may be looking for health insurance after they leave college and are no longer dependents. My daughter has been diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic heart valve. She has a healthy heart and it is working well. With this impact her chances to get health insurance on her own? Will it impact our ability to continue her insurance after the cobra period is over on our insurance?
Avatar m tn Hi, I was wondering if anybody could help me with a health insurance question? About a year ago Anthem Covered two separate visits to the doctors office that I had gone to. So initially they paid and I thought I was all set. Now, almost a year later, they retracted payment due to my coverage ending within days of the visits. I understand if I wasn't covered, but I am wondering how they can pay for it and then decide they were wrong and bill me a year later?
6927110 tn?1393318669 The first thing you do is start looking for a dr with the new insurance. Once you have your dr picked out ask for your medical records that way on your first visit new dr is on the same page and has a plan for you and baby boy. Register to a hospital that corresponds to new insurance as with Kaiser we didn't have to do that. If you have any questions feel free to message me.

Avatar f tn I am going to lose my health insurance soon. I was wondering if anyone knows of any government programs I can participate in in order to afford doctors appointments and delivery.
10973576 tn?1414346147 If you can't get insurance through your employer, try applying for Medicaid.
Avatar f tn I just recently got accepted for medicaid and just wanted to wish u luck on getting it for yourself
Avatar f tn If you're in the USA than I believe by law, health insurance must cover pregnancy appointments and delivery. It doesn't matter if your on your parents insurance or not. Now, how much they pay could be iffy so you're best bet is to call or ask your mom to call. One thing to think about, grandchildren cannot be extended on to the grandparents health insurance most of the time.
Avatar n tn Alright, so I'm on my dad's health insurance through his work. It's upmc. Well, my boyfriend & I are getting our own place & my dad told me I can't change my address & stay on his health insurance. How true is this? Because I just looked it up & it said that a child under 26 can remain on a parents plan even if they don't live with them. I just want to know for sure because I can't afford it on my own. Especially not with the baby coming.
Avatar f tn Call your health plan provider. It's different with each state, I believe.
Avatar f tn So i got a form today from the insurance i applied for. it came with a MC 210 state of facts sheet but i don't understand how to fill it out. does anyone know how to? it would mean so much if someone can please help me on this. my insurance well temporary insurance expires this month so i need to send this in asap so i can get it asap.
3180580 tn?1344745287 m super excited to meet my little girl and such. i am 17 and a senior in high school. what kind of health insurance would be options for me to get got my baby.
Avatar n tn What are the best health insurance sites/companies/agents? When you search health insurance you get ehealthinsurance.com, and healthinsurance.org, and http://www.HealthPlanOne.com as the top 3 but I want to know if you have found better ones than these ones.
Avatar f tn If I'm still on my mother's health insurance, will my baby be covered too? My boyfriend is still on his parents health insurance too, so we can't put the baby on his. My mom's health insurance has covered my prenatal care, but I'm not completely sure what to do about finding a pediatrician if I don't have my own health insurance plan.
Avatar f tn I always found it odd that the insurance companies will pay hundreds of dollars for tests for people with health anxiety, even if they are the same tests being done over and over again, but they won't pay a dime to help those same folks overcome their phobias, thereby saving themselves gobs of money.
Avatar f tn What health insurance coverage/plan do you have? How much do you pay deductible and premium? Im so confuse about that. I'm 35 and planning family soon, but I'm so confused about this. thank ;you Just trying to get an idea.
Avatar n tn m currently 20 weeks and not working at the moment but I do have money save up. Does anybody know any health insurance that will help??
Avatar f tn Whats everyones Opinion on Dummies? I brought 2 Dummies but im scared the baby will get addicted to them. Im not a big fan of seeing an older child carrying 5 Dummies Lol.
Avatar f tn So, I have unfortunately got myself into a predicament, made worse only by the fact that this is round #2 for me. Have been taking 40(ish) N+ every day for what must be almost 4 years. About a year ago I saw a doctor and managed to wean down on codeine tabs which I really didn't stick out for long once I had come off them - maybe a month? I now have to do this again, but probably on my own as i can't imagine going back!
Avatar f tn If you want to learn more about your body i say bbt is good, but doing it to ttc i say no, stick with the opks(unless you dont no for sure if you are ovulating) hey, try it out for a month, take your temps and use the opk, then compare your notes, see if 1-2 days b4 you ovulated if your temp decreased, then check the chart to see if 1-2 days after you ovulated if your temp increased. Then watch the temps rise over the LP and as it comes to an end watch if fall the AF arrives.
Avatar f tn s a given as we all have health insurance as per the Canada Health Act. Supplemental insurance for most prescription meds, eye care, dental care is another matter and covered by supplemental health plans. I have that too. Other interesting questions would include how much do each of us pay for premiums, how much are our co-pays. I'm curious about how much $$$ is spent in total one year on my health care including physician visits, radiology, ER visits, etc.
Avatar f tn I've never heard anyone call a pacified a dummy lol
