Quotespecial I wonder how the potency (strength) compares between the 2 medicines. I noticed the doze for one is 2.4 mg and the other is 15 mg. So maybe Mounjaro is better because of the higher doze? Also, is this really a “take this for the rest of your life” drug? what happens if you stop? Strength is not directly comparable from one drug to the other. They truly are different drugs, aby TL - Tips and Deals
QuoteNewtonMP2100 ......article just came out last week that Zep users lost more weight than Ozempic..... Yup, the clinical evidence to date is non-diabetics do lose weight faster, and lose more weight, than diabetics at comparable dosing. That’s true for both Ozempic vs Wegovy and for Mounjaro vs Zepbound. It’s fascinating to see how different the reactions are across different populationsby TL - Tips and Deals
Quotecbelt3 While I could go Ozempic for my Disbetes,I hesitate for two reasons: 1- Medicare won’t cover it when I switch Medicare is now allowing coverage of GLP-1 drugs under Part D when you are using for an allowable indication. Because it can also be used for weight loss, which is statutorily excluded from Part D, a PA or other clinical evidence will be required for your plan to coverby TL - Tips and Deals

157 aqua down in Vancouver right now, with a “lovely” red glow around the sun and haze all over. Was out in the Dalles yesterday and it was so eerie to see/smell/feel the smoky haze rolling through with us as we drove back via the Gorge. Space, I totally feel your pain.

Sensodyne is the big name in “sensitive” toothpastes for a reason. If you just don’t like mint, have you looked at kids toothpastes?

The friend should discuss with their surgeon’s staff. Post op care is critical, and I guarantee they have run across similar situations before. They should be able to offer suggestions and/or referrals depending on exactly what is needed Generally, depending on care needed, options might include asking a friend to help out, arranging home health visits, a short stay in a rehab facility, etcby TL - Tips and Deals
QuoteGrumpyguy Kroger is the same. Reduced hours. Closed for lunch. Closing for lunch is more of a state law issue than a cutting hours issue. Pharmacy staff working 12 hours shifts (fairly normal for the industry) deserve 30-60 minutes to refuel and rest, and more states/state pharmacy boards are recognizing this need. Additionally the pharmacy cannot be open if a pharmacist is not present, soby TL - Tips and Deals
So obviously an inflatable would be easier storage, but perhaps an oversized dog bed would work? They are basically large pillows and do come in multiple shapes/sizes so I’d think finding one to fit your use case is possible. Stay safe!by TL - Tips and Deals
QuoteTiangou It's just a template for their reference because they're probably too dull to know how to enter it from scratch. Assuming that this is a refill ("routine medications"), it should be almost exactly the same as the last one. If it's a new prescription, god speed.

QuoteTiangou Ask them if they can cancel the claim and resubmit it from their end as a simple refill on medication. See if you can find a previous claim online, or an explanation of benefits doc showing those meds, and give them that for reference so they can crib off of it. Absolutely won’t happen.

How long has it been since the date of service (date you picked up the rx)? Depending on how long it’s been and which pharmacy, your pharmacy may be able to reverse and refill the claim.

QuotePaul F. Given the lifetime costs of hemophilia, I think the insurance companies would be rather happy to pay a one-time lump sum... They absolutely will not be happy to do so. No insurance co wants to bear the entire cost at one go for a treatment which would ordinarily (under current therapies) be spread over years and probably multiple carriers.

UPS Stores are franchises and not bound to standard UPS rates. You pay extra for the convenience of using them.

Was she saying they wouldn’t make rx shades, or wouldn’t put rx sunglasses lens into your non-Costco frames? If it’s the former, she was misinformed/wrong.

Free, if you (your mom) files a complaint with Medicare, the mechanism of enrollment will be researched and you (your mom) will be notified.

Switching happens a bunch of ways. What was her previous/preferred plan? Eg, was it through a former employer? Was it a different MA plan or a non-Medicare retiree plan?
