vision insurance riders

It is my favorite week end of the year. I volunteered and my husband rode. I saw lots of my MS buddies. All the riders are my heroes. I am pretty tired. I had chemo the day before. I was not as sick as last year but I am pretty tired. I had the pleasure of taking pictures of riders as they crossed the finish line.

A lot depends on if you are applying for group insurance for an employer or for individual insurance. I believe qualifying for group insurance, depeding on the company you work for, does not usually require you to have to disclose pre-existing conditions, whereas individual insurance will. I could be wrong about that.

t want to do surgery in the other eye maybe because the insurance told him not to. Maybe they wanted him to wait until the first of the year. Who knows? All I know for sure is that I haven't been able to see far aay since I was in kindergarten, when I got my first glasses. The presbiopia came around when I was about 37 or 38, and I could no longer read fine print. I am the third generation of glaucoma in my mother's side. My mother's mother had it, as does my mother, and now, me.

I have been diagnosed with myopic degeneration and receive the intraocular injection which is very effective. My insurance carrier will not cover the cost of the injection (medicine and surgery). If I had a diagnosis of macular degeneration it would be fully covered. I am looking for suggestions as to how to make my case with the insurance carrier that this is not a one time event but a chronic condition that if not treated would result in a loss of vision.

In addition, Pilates is a terrific form of gentle stretching and strenghtening that focuses on your core (abdominals/back), which is your foundation when you ride. Lots of riders, even upper-level riders, do Pilates. Perhaps you could fit in some Pilates inbetween the days you ride? And, maybe ride another day or two during the week? That said, please don;t do anything without first consulting your doctor to make sure that ANY form of exercise is right for you!

My husband (40 y/o,healthy)and I (40 y/o, healthy) are looking to get our health insurance coverage from next present. Right now we are on cobra GHI( extension from my previous work place) but they are asking me to change to EMPIRE PPO or EPO since they will not have GHI. I did not have dental and vision coverage previously but even if I want it they are saying they cannot add it. They are also asking for a one year committment.

Bike MS 2015 East End RIde is in the books! With the help of some "creative" navigation Linda and I (and many other riders) managed to turn 25 miles into 30, but we are none the worse for wear :-) With the help of some amazingly supportive, and generous, friends we were able to raise over $15,000 for the Natl. MS Society!

Also, see if there is a birth center near you. I know our local BC has options for families with no insurance. The total out of pocket to deliver there and be seen throughout the pregnancy is about $4500 compared to 3x that amount about the hospital.

s one at 8yrs, 14yrs and 26yrs to correct this. I am now 49. But at the age of 37 i was a passenger in a taxi when joy riders went into the back of it. not long after i started seeing double. At 42 i had surgery to try and correct it, did not work, i have also had Botox in my left eye which also never worked. At 45yrs i was told there was nothing they could do, apart from cover the left eye or opperate on tmy good eye, of course i declined.

s father insurance he has really good insurance...

im in need of some help. i need health insurance but i just lost my job. now that i have palpitations im scared to drive or do anything. i went to the er and they did a ct scan with contrast and said they didnt find anything wrong. i just feel like crap. out of energy. all blood test came back good. i got a ct scan with contrast for my head last week but i havent heard back from them with the results so im guessing they didnt find anything.

Now my left eye is acting up and I do not have any insurance since I got laid off over a year ago and have not been able to find work. I'm concerned about driving since my vision is so distorted in sunlight. I'm wondering how bad will my vision get and are there any options for me to get the surgery done without insurance...like payment plans or something?

Hello! So I got a new job and didn't sign up for the vision plan because I have plenty of contacts, so decided to sign up during enrollment in January, but I did sign up for Medica health insurance. Now I have a growth in the corner of my eye. Not on the eyeball but in the way corner next to the nose. It is red, doesn't hurt or itch, is just super annoying because it touches by eye sometimes and feels like some eye boogers and I constantly want to rub it away.

the lightaheadness as gone away a little bit except when using bathroom when pushing i see more dots and more light and lightheades...what does this mean ? have no insurance and wont until middle of nov..

Don't take your doctor's word that your insurance won't cover the multifocal lens. My insurance paid for it after I explained all the facts to them. The doctors office had only submitted it after I hounded them about it. When they did it went as a non-medically necessary facility charge. When I explained to insurance it was not that. When a cataract is removed a lens is necessary. This marked the cost from $2,000 down to $120. that insurance covered.

I'm 24 years old and started having occasional increased eye pressures at around 12. My vision in left eye is 20/60 and in right eye is 20/240. In the last 2 years I've had 3 eye examinations which all came back with pressures increased in both eyes left ranges 22-24 but right eye is 29-34. My eye DR. did a visual field test and it seems I have a blind spot in my upper right field in the right eye.

I have Chiari Malformation and I had decompression surgery where they removed the bottom of my skull and the top half of the C1 vertebrae. I also still have chronic migraines and I don’t have vision insurance to go have a full work up at the optometrist. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The “magnification” of the left eye is pretty bothersome. I also have very frequent blurry vision that I can’t clear up by blinking or rubbing my eyes.

I was on 4 different eye drops, had antibiotics (oral and 2 shots), steroids, and saw 3 different doctors. It finally cleared up but the vision in my left eye is now changed. It is blurry and I see a halo around lights at night. The opthamologist said my eyes were dry and advised me to use dry eye drops. I had just gotten new glasses and contacts a couple months before and now I can't wear my contacts and can't see that well with my glasses.

I live in Texas & just qualified for Medicaid for Pregnant Women since I have a deductable with my insurance & it won't cover my appts. I was just wondering if it covers dentist visits & vision & stuff or do I have to have full medicaid for that? Anybody know?

One must avoid neck jerking, stressful activites like football, tennis, basketball, weight/furniture lifting, wave pools, roller coasters, backpacking, extended reading or sleeping with the head bent down or up etc. therefore it would be prudent to avoid roller coaster riders for your own safety. Hope this helps and you can take it as a word of caution. Take care.

m 51 and spent the last seven years going through six optometrists trying to get clear distance vision for driving. Note that not one did a pupil dilation. My initial visit with the first office was because I complained of double vision at night. This was after having worn Ortho-Ks for 12 years with tremendous satisfaction with 20/10 correction. Last year I was finally been diagnosed with cataracts of both eyes.

I would suggest you insist your doctor give your husband a full refraction (eye exam) and find out exactly what his prescription is, including any astigmatism, then see if he can be helped with progressive glasses. If his vision improves with glasses and he can see to read and drive he will be in better shape than many other Rezoom patients.
