Pluggers by Rick McKee for September 20, 2018

what he needs more likely is a filing cabinet or a safe box with lock (combination or pad)

It’s that lovely time of year when every provider starts flooding your mailbox with offers for a couple weeks.

That’s why I get the BIG recycle bin!

Ah yes the “Medicare Handbook” came yesterday. Do the government types really think anyone reads this stuff ? When it is written in gobblity-goop a language I do not speak or write :-(

It’s an age when people slow down and faculties begin to fade that they are inundated with forms and technicalities to keep track of and comply with.

Way cheaper at Fred Meyers

Snerks… about right

After 3 – 5 years you should only keep the annual statements. Not every little thing.

All I keep is my pharmacy receipts and being on pension I don’t get a tax refund, just a credit so they’re not much use to keep. Yep the maligned Canadian evil socialized medicine empire.

Every month Humana sends us 12 pages that could easily be reduced to 1 page. One page is just how to get the information in 20 different languages. Ridiculous. I can’t find a way to get it electronically.

A real plugger would wipe out an old 5 gallon grease pail and use that.. no need to purchase newfangled boxes

A smart plugger will go to Staples and buy a scanner and a shredder.

I always use the boxes from the Shop-Rite store.

I have a binder from my surgery in 2015, with all the lawyer info and workmans comp claims, it’s about 6" thick.
