5 stages of grief over 4for4. Just never made it to acceptance.

They knew what Snyder was doing with the cheerleaders and did turn a blind eye to Snyder's actions.  I think it's probably unfair to blame it on Goddell when he was certainly just doing what the owners wanted on the  issue.  

Goodell blew it when he failed to require a formal investigation statement.  The leaking of Chucky’s emails was fatal.  That said, how is this a consumer protection suit.

Eagles are 8-0. People should be happy in the blog.

Because let’s say you get in a heated discussion with some seemingly random poster. Turns out he/she is a mod. Next thing you know, some minor infraction turns into you getting suspended. Instead we’re left to guess and be subjugated to the faceless mods. They’re no better than any other poster in here, yet they’ve been granted some level of authority for…reasons?

Never happened.  The point is to moderate the discussions.  There is no need for transparency for the mods.  They have always been pretty lenient to our drifts in here.  Civility isn’t that hard. Generous use of the Ignore tool works.

All things considered, that’s not asking too much.

Maddox with a new hammy injury. 

Wonder if his hammy and Scott’s ankle mean that Chachere is the back up nickel.

Last week for 2 weeks. And DUM was not happy about it

There are a lot of things I love about America but insurance in this country Fing sucks. It’s a terrible feeling when you need to get something done, your insurance company won’t cover it, and your doctors office kinda shrugs at you and goes sorry, nothing we can do and just sends you on your way like you’re at a convenience store looking for batteries and they say they’re all sold out.

My insurance company keeps denying this MRI for whatever reason. My doctor thinks I really need it, but because the insurance keeps denying it the doctors office basically is just telling me "so sorry, there’s nothing we can do, good luck with your pain”

I recently had to pay $1300 for one. Still haven’t hit my deductible!

Absolutely absurd. Either super high premiums and low deductibles or super high deductibles with lower premiums. Either way, you pay out the ass.

Rooting for the Falcons is tough. Awful dropped INT

Openly attacking the mods and apparently he was complaining to them about other suspensions saying they were unfair. And he was bothering VA about the mods which is against the guidelines.

Such a Karen

Man this Falcons offensive line is terrible. Mariota is running for his life on almost every play so far.

#25 has hands of stone. How do you drop that?

It’s beyond a scam. I had to get a procedure done a few years back and it took me two years to pay off the medical bills. My insurance covered next to nothing.

Our healthcare system is horrendous. What's an "approved" procedure also varies between insurances so something that you've had approved or routinely done on one insurance can be rejected by a different company if you switch plans. I'm running into this looking for a new job and really screws me out of most opportunities that come up.

Just tell him he is wrong about the cap😂 I called the fletcher cox situation weeks before and he got really upset saying option bonuses weren’t a thing. I saw him educating someone else on option bonuses the other day

I feel like he probably doesn’t have a job. He seems to take the blog and what other posters do a bit too seriously

Or maybe no one outside of the blog takes him seriously.

None of them want to pay and will deny as much as they can. "You must prove it’s medically necessary” yeah doctors order MRIs for fun! Not necessary.

I dont know what kind of MRI youre getting but a common rule with insurance companies for orthopedics is that you fail 6 weeks of formal physical therapy first. 

If you are looking for a musculoskeletal MRI, maybe that rule applies to you.

There are also some key words the insurance companies may look for in your file. Hopefully your doctor knows those buzzwords to hit in order to get things covered. 

 

Lastly, you likely still have the option of paying out of pocket. That is difficult for many patients, but depending on your pain level, or level of dysfunction or disability it may be money well spent.

 

For many conditions an ultrasound may be an excellent alternative to MRI, and is significantly cheaper if you need to go the out of pocket route.
