I started on GLP-1 thru the bridge program about 2 months. I'm taking zepbound which was what my doctor recommended. It was a fairly easy process to get the prior approval. I've lost 7 lbs. so far. Hoping to lose around 35 -40 lbs.

I also have been getting the Aperture injections every 2 months for the last 18 months. I haven't had any side effects other than soreness at the injection site. That only lasts a few days. The injection can either be administered in the center of your butt cheek or on the side just below your hip. I usually get it in the side because the soreness is less for me.

I don't think Part D plans will start covering GLP-1 for weight loss next year. Federal law does not allow coverage of weight loss drugs.

Memorial day is not a holiday to honor veterans. It's a day to remember those military personnel who fought and died in Americas wars. Nov. 11 is the Veterans day holiday in the US.

I've had a few providers where I had confirmed before hand that they provide a HE. But when a hired them at the end of the massage they wouldn't provide it. They would just say something like - you can jerk yourself off if you want.

I currently do the every two month apretude injection for Prep. I've talked to my doctor about switching to the twice yearly shot. Medicare would pay for it. But I'm hesitated because of the two shots in the abdomen. I've read that there can be more pain and discomfort than the two month shot.

I get my STI testing done at the clinic where I receive my PreP shot. I also have my throat swabbed at the same time as the other STI tests every 4 months. It takes 2-3 days to get the results.

I've seen him. As others have said he is great at kissing, oral and topping. A handsome sexy young guy. Will definitely see him again.

Do you have an online ad or website? What's the best way to contact you?

On rentmen their options for status include positive and positive undetectable.

If you are concerned that the call isn't real, you could try to find the actual contact number for the health dept. on their website. Then call them and ask if they are doing this study.

Just like the private insurance market there are different types of Medicare Advantage plans. HMO's, PPO, PFFS (private fee for service) and special needs plans.

You can switch to another Medicare advantage plan or go back to original Medicare every year during the open enrollment period.

Per the IRS the definition of a gift - "the transfer of property (including money or the use/income from property) to another person without receiving something of at least equal value in return". If the exchange of money doesn't meet this standard then it is taxable income to the recipient. Gifts over certain dollar amounts can also be taxable to the person who gives it to you.

Here is an obituary published online today. It doesn't say when or how he died. https://canadianfortress.site/robert-franklin-aka-mr-cali-obituary-legendary-figure-in-black-lgbtq-adult-entertainment-communities-passes-away/

You don't need a SSN to open a bank account. But if you receive interest payments reportable on a 1099 and don't give the bank your SSN the payments can be subject to backup withholding. From the IRS website: When you open a new account, make an investment, or begin to receive payments reportable on Form 1099, you must provide your TIN. For certain types of payments, you must provide the TIN in writing and certify under penalties of perjury that it's correct. In those cases, the bank or business will give you Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification or a similar form. If your account or investment will earn interest or dividends, you must also certify that you're not subject to backup withholding due to previous underreporting of interest or dividends. You may be subject to backup withholding and the payer must withhold at a flat 24% rate when: you don't give the payer your TIN in the required manner

I have been taking injectable PreP for the last six months. I switched when Medicare started paying for it. It is more effective than oral Prep in preventing HIV. It is safe but like oral Prep it can have cause similar side effects. The most serious being kidney or liver problems. As with oral Prep you periodically have to take a blood test to check your liver and kidney functions. Also some people can experience significant soreness/pain at the injection site for several days. For me it hasn't been that bad.

This is why gay men should get a hepatitis vaccine.

Delay, Deny Defend is the title of a book about how insurance companies deny claims. https://www.amazon.com/Delay-Deny-Defend-insurance-companies-ebook/dp/B086Z2HGWM/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.mwpnelaY_vwy8jQDyBmezcPmo1LHE8JCyagaejRV3jU.sKjoLhFTFXcunI_N-EdGRfch7dw01L2-oeEd9hHxa8U&dib_tag=se&keywords=defend+deny+delay&qid=1733416463&sr=8-1

Yes the pharmacy would have to be a Part B provider. The large national chains Walgreens, CVS etc. are enrolled in Part B. I get mine prescription from Walgreens. If you get injectable Prep from your physician or a clinic, they would have to accept Medicare assignment.

I've have been paying for my PreP prescription out of pocket using a GoodRx coupon. The copay on my Part D plan was $150/month. Yesterday when I picked up my refill the pharmacist told me I no longer have to pay anything since Medicare Part B now pays the total cost. This great news. I'm now considering switching to the injectable form of PreP to avoid taking a daily pill. https://www.hiv.gov/blog/now-medicare-part-b-coverage-pre-exposure-prophylaxis-prep-for-hiv-prevention

It might have been declined because it was flagged by Mastercard as a possible fraudulent charge because it's a foreign charge. I had this happen awhile back when I renewed my membership with a new card. I had to call my bank to let them know I authorized the charge. I then resubmitted my renewal and it went thru.

The average age of your open accounts is one factor in computing your score. So closing an account will lower it. Another factor affecting it is your credit use percentage. If the new card has a significantly lower credit limit then the old card that also will negatively impact your score.
