Health Insurance Coverage
Short and to the point: Does HPSP cover medical insurance if required by your school? In my case, the university requires all dental students to either buy into their insurance or have proof of a third party supplier -- either way, you must have it (in other words, you must pay for it).

Locums
I'm considering early retirement with some locums to supplement income. Somewhere between 3 to 6 months a year.
Few questions for those who have done locums before:
1 Do they pay for your flight? Let's say it is a 2 to 3 hr flight.
2 Do they pay for a car rental?
3 What is the going rate for cardiac? How much for call and overtime?
4 How do you deal with health insurance for the family?
5 How much money you think you can make working 6 months, taking call and overtime? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

What are you doing for health insurance?
Just curious- for those of you moving to a different state for school, are you buying coverage through the exchanges? Are you opting for the plan that the school offers?
If you are currently on your parents' insurance plan, but are moving to a different state, are you able to keep their coverage if the company is a national one (ex. Anthem BCBS)? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Health Insurance
I am usually covered under my parents when it comes to health insurance, however, our provider is not available in the state I will be attending dental school. Do most students just buy health insurance with their schools? Just looking for some advice from people who have been in this situation. Thanks (Source: Student Doctor Network)

CVS or Walgreens?
Hi,
I got offers from CVS and Walgreen in the northan CA area, not sure which one to go with for a long term career development. Any suggestion? Their pay is about the same so money is not the issue, health insurance I got from my husband, zero premium, so that will not be an issue either. Which company treats their pharmacists more professionally? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

anyone uses obamacare to waive health insurance provided by school?
Hey,
Just wondering if anyone planning on using Obamacare (or whatever it is in your state) to waive the health insurance from school, which is usually 2k-3k annually. I did it in my last year at UC system, it worked out just fine. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Help me understand Health Insurance
So, before all of the massive hate on this post beings, let me preemptively state the fact that I am simply trying to learn this stuff to help me become a better doctor. Believe me when I say that - as someone in medical school - it is to my extreme embarrassment that I am not better informed on this subject. I won't make excuses for myself, but I will say but no one has ever taken the time to explain these things to me clearly. Whatever little I do comprehend about health insurance...

Moving to another state
My husband and I are considering moving from nj to sc. I have some concerns about the move now that i have been diagnosed with cf. I am worried about changing health insurance. Will insurance from a new ins company cover my cf needs or will they call it a "preexisting condition"? Will I be able to continue on kalydeco since i am currently on it off label? What are the adult cf drs like in the charleston area? I'd love to hear if anyone else has had experience with this and how it turned out for them. Thanks for your input in advance.

should I push for testing?
Ok, I have never done this before, but I need some advice. A little bit of history-my husband(27) had very frequent lung infections as a child. His bedsheets always had a salt residue on them from his night sweats(which he still has). They had him tested for cf, but his results were borderline, & he was never retested. The summer before we got married(he was 20 years old), he ended up in the ER for diagnosed pleurisy. From that point on, he has had a chronic cough, & allergy symptoms that don't ever go away. Fast forward to current. He is exhausted. He can't sleep at night, & his sinus infections will not go aw...

If you're American and have had a transplant, please help with info!
Hi all from Canada :) my sister passed from CF when she was 21 and I was 17 in 1990. I'm now writing a book, a novel where the lead is helping her sister obtain a lung transplant. It takes place is the US, and I have a few questions.
Are all costs related to double lung transplants covered under basic medical insurance? If not, approximately what amount would need to be raised by the patient? The people in the story are not wealthy, so only basic health insurance is affordable...Please correct me if I'm wrong, but that would be be Medicare?
What hospital or hospitals are recognized as the best covered facilities for l...
