The following is from a college professor, Dr. Mike Hoerger. He emails it to all of his students and has posted it on X. How are the top science programs handling high COVID-19 transmission, inclusivity, equity, and diversity in January…
Has your health insurance claim been denied?
A very long time ago, I ran a self-insured health insurance fund for a non-profit organization. I processed claims, then turned around and filed them with our stop-loss insurer. Much of my job involved making sure the stop-loss insurer paid…
Sunday evening, slowing down
Now that the whole crossposting thing is working, I plan to continue reducing my presence on Facebook. I often post things there in order to remember them, but then I can’t find them later when I want them. So it…
And another change
