I think you should write a thank you card to the oral surgeon the minute you sit up after the surgery.

Thora posted:Is this a good thing because it's less expensive under whatever coverage you have? Because over the counter Motrin comes in 200 mg tablets. Four of them equals the 800 mg Motrin he'll probably write the prescription for. I was prescribed naproxen (Aleve) once (which, I'll grant you, is more expensive than ibuprofen, though not by that much) and I think the generics I got were cheap enough that they didn't hit my co-pay (so basically what I would have paid without coverage at all). They were something like 1/4th the price I would have paid buying the equivalent over-the-counter.

I should have re-applied on my own. But because I was rejected last year, I thought maybe that applying as a family would change the application process in my favor. I guess I will re-apply on my own now, but I don't know if it'd go through since I've already been applied by someone else. Speaking of Medi-Cal, I called my dentist and she told me that I'd have to talk to them about my coverage applying retroactively and she won't give me a 30 day period to repay her. I'm still going to the appointment tomorrow.

JakeP posted:In what industry is this common? It's a lot more prevalent among minimum wage/part time employers whose employees typically don't have benefits. Getting a doctor's note is a major challenge when you have a variable schedule, no insurance and are likely poor so it serves as a deterrent from employees calling out sick.

Because in most jobs, if you're delegated work it's going to still be there when you get back and having a note doesn't change the fact that you still have to do your work. IE: as a photographer, if I get sick and can't work on editing a shoot, oh well I'll still have all that poo poo to do and it's not exactly like a doctor's note is going to make a client happy. tl;dr: Do your drat work.

When I worked in a casino my boss made me bring in a doctors note. That's mostly cause he was a controlling dick. Also if you have sick leave structures that's another good reason. Dont rag on benny for a loving note, now you're just wanting to be mean to him when he's doing so very well

I gave my manager the note. He put it in his files for reference. I told him that I'd be late on Tuesday since I have my second round of fillings at 9AM and I'd give him another note. He said it was okay with him.

He's feeding you lies. The unwritten rule in most office environments is if you honorable duel the manager to the death, the winner takes over the position and his or her family. I am not saying this is entirely applicable to you, but if you were to do so, I would suggest you would choose your weapons wisely and choose something like a shopping cart.

Typically in an office environment if you tell your boss "hey I'm going to be out on this day from this time to this time for a doctor's appointment" you don't need an excuse, unless you've made a habit of taking time off and claiming its to go to the  doctor and they think you're just using it as an excuse.

Even if he doesn't ask for one, it doesn't hurt. Especially since he'll be late more than once, if not missing a day or two completely. I worked lovely retail jobs where doctors notes were required if I called out sick. It's not unusual.

I don't think people were ragging on him for getting the note itself, I know I found the term 'excuse note' a rather child-like phrase. That would be a momentary 'huh, weird' with anyone else, but with Benny, it's a little bit amazing

Tyrannosaurus posted:Don't be stupid. If you challenge the manager to a duel, the manager gets to choose the weapons HR Here: If you are going by Marquis of Fantailler rules: Employee to Employee combat: Employees grab the nearest item available to them. This is often an improvised weapon, but in some locales, this may very well be an actual weapon. Winner Take All. Employee to Manager combat: Manager chooses the weapons, however: the manager is discouraged from choosing weapons that cause mortal wounds. This often favors the employee, who is, in fact, trying to mortally wound the manager. Employee to Manager combat with HR Present: HR chooses the weapons. HR has no compunction over which body goes out the door. No matter how it shakes out, HR is only going to end up filling an line employee position.

Benny the Snake posted:I found out from Medi-Cal that my application is still being processed and since they'll cover the cheap fillings, I'm going to wait until it's finalized. I've cancelled my appointments until then. The pain isn't so bad that I need the procedures done right now, I can wait. So you've talked to Medi-Cal? Any time-frame on your application? If you let the teeth go, they might get worse and turn into some horrible issue that wouldn't be covered or that would need a lot of painful dentistry.

Benny how is this realization and cancellation happening after when you said the first procedure already would have happened? At this point you should have already had two of the procedures done. Also if this is true, probably find a new dentist, yours is probably not happy about you cancelling 3 appointments at short notice.

Many providers will let you retroactively file claims as long as the procedure was done after you applied. Dont gently caress around with mouth infections.
