My distance vision was always perfect until my near vision started getting worse and worse over the years. Now I wear readers with +2.25 and my distance vision has gone to +1.25. The thing I hate is that pretty much anything within 5 ft or so I really cant read without readers on. At home, I live with readers on the tip of my nose since I can still see in the distance(tv, etc) pretty good. However, at work I have to constantly walk around with a tablet in my hand updating the restaurant floor plan, looking down at tablet, up across the room etc,. I eventually ended up getting progressives, which I pretty much honestly hate, since you have to lift your head up to be able to peer down to the bottom of the glasses to read smaller print like on my phone, paperwork, etc. In those types of cases plain readers work so much better. I've had at least 5 different pair of progressives made at different places with always the same dissatisfaction.

Anyhow, I was wondering if its a thing to get implants for close up and then bring the distance down with single vision glasses so to speak? Or is the only solution really to get one eye for close up and one for far? I'd read the bad stuff concerning multifocus so that is why I am wondering if there is other solutions.

I'm in Fl and am curious to hear if anyone with a specific medicare advantage honors type PPO plan and TFL has had to pay the specialist fee upfront(Ex $50 co pay) or did the bill get sent on to TFL from the MA plan or dr office? I've read how you will have to submit bills to tricare yourself, but I've also seen some say the bills get forwarded, so I am curious for actual, real life stories.

So I got a text yesterday while at work from express scripts saying a medication had been ordered for me. Knowing I didnt have anything due to come since the ONLY drug I get from them is mounjaro, I looked into my account and saw something had been ordered for me that I do not take. It was in processing status. I called them immediately and told them its not my medication and to please cancel it. They said my Drs name, ordered it, so they cant. I said it's a mistake and I dont want it. They said they cant since the DR ordered it. I said please at least put it on hold so I can call my Dr. since its not my medication and obviously a mistake. I kept reiterating, if I was at Publix I could easily say, NO I dont want it, and they said they cant work like that since they are mail order.

SO I call my DR office and they look into it and said yes, it was a mistake. It actually did happen about 6 months before with an antibiotic called into publix, so I think someone must have my same bday and name. They said they would cancel the prescription and call express scripts. I got a text later from express scripts last night saying the med was due to be delivered on the 27th. Sounds like enough time to cancel something to me.

SO this morning , I call them again to see if they have cancelled it and they give me the same story, that it cant be cancelled, and its the Drs fault, not theirs. I said I shouldnt be paying for a drug I DO NOT want, is NOT technically for me, as per my Drs cancellation of it, and they shouldnt be sending me something my DR cancelled. They said it's his fault and I cant send it back when it comes and must eat the cost. I said, this makes no sense, technically someone could have this happen to them everyday by a clerical error, and they said they understand my frustration but yes it could.

I also find it very suspect, when it always takes at least a week to get anything to go past the processing page from them and now suddenly it is less than a few hours where its too late to cancel or hold. The first text I received was at 11 am and I called them at 2 pm. And funnily enough back on Apr 23 my mounjaro was ordered and processing, due to be delivered on May 8 and I was going out of town on May 1 for a few days, so I was afraid just my luck, it would come earlier than the usual 2 to 3 weeks, so I called them on April 28 to ask to put that on hold til after May 3 and they had no problem doing so. I never got it til May 14th. How was that put on hold after it had been processing for 5 days and yet this wrongly ordered drug couldnt be put on hold after 3 hours of receipt!

My only recourse was to put a hold on my account and I will have to verbally call them when I want anything sent to me. If it wasnt for me being forced to use them for my mounjaro, I would NEVER use them again! This is such BS. I would advise everyone to do the same. At least then, you wont have to pay for a mistake if it happens to you!
