@maxkennerly it’s incredible. I have gone between emploment, self-employment and into medicare. It’sa nightmare of “who covers what” and constantly resetting deductibles - even when the provider is same.
Hundreds of pieces of paper.
Each provider with a unique portal (if automated).
Each provider with a separate payment scheme.
