Wieder ein Kulturgut: der Dachstuhl des Herrenhauses von Schloss Hardenberg ist am 21.11. in Flammen aufgegangen. Unser Kulturgut ist bedroht, bisher gab es keine Statistik dazu. Das macht der Schadensmonitor Kukturgut Deutschland von Blue Shield seit über einem Jahr. Der neue Fall ist schon gemeldet. Neue Fälle können hier gemeldet werden: https://www.blue-shield.de/schadensmonitor-kulturgut/

Es ging um die Schädigung des Kulturerbes. Bei der Jahrestagung von Blue Shield Deutschland standen gestern die Diskussionen rund um den Schadensmonitor im Mittelpunkt: wie schützen wir? Wie kartieren wir? Was wissen wir?

Yea!!! 👏👏👏

#UCSF & #BlueShield reached an agreement to keep UCSF in the Blue Shield network. So, I don't have to find a new PCP after all.

Because of the current contract dispute between #UCSF & #BlueShield, I have had to make plans to get a new #PCP & have been spending a few days gathering & organizing my #MedicalRecords, including significant medical procedures, blood test results, vaccinations & medications.

The appointment with my new prospective PCP is this coming Friday but I've got an appointment with another prospective PCP in Sep. Might as well make use of my PPO insurance coverage.

Most of this info was readily available on #MyChart but I had to spend a few hours sorting thru old #MedicalRecords. Good thing I'm a #PaperHoarder or all of that info would have been lost but there's a lot of detritus in the files that still need to be purged. 🤷‍♂️

FYI, it was announced today 7/12025 that negotiations between between Blue Shield & UCSF have been extended until August 9, 2025.

So, those covered by Blue Cross (like me) can still receive care at UCSF until that date. Expect further updates to follow.

Just received noticed from #BlueShield that #UCSF, my medical provider for the last 15 years, is leaving the #BlueShieldOfCA #PPO medical network as of 7/10/2025. ☹️

Just started doing some research on which groups are available where I can find a new PCP & all of the "reviews" for all of the medical groups in my area & beyond are dismal. 🤦‍♂️

That said, I've found that as long as I get a PCP that I get along with & who is responsive to my needs/requests, I'm happy even if the reviews for the group are poor.

So, I may need to try a couple in various groups before I find the PCP that I like.

As the member of a PPO, I don't have to worry all about getting referrals for specialized care but the day-to-day medical care -- labs & prescriptions -- is all I generally need & I just need to find another PCP who is on the same page with me for those things.

Wish me luck! 😉
