How to get the cheapest cost for vein ablation ?
Trying to figure out where to start since I already got slapped with a $5k for the ultra sound to get diagnosed.

Looking at an NNSA role recently posted at ORNL as a Los Alamos lab adjacent person.
The post asks for the cover letter to display writing skills. At LANL, that means going through each ‘qualifications’ bullet and explaining why i am qualified.
Is that the standard they are referencing?
I thought this was pop girlies and not a Taylor swift fan sub????
Me: Hi, I’m calling because I want to add my autism diagnosis to my medical chart so that my therapy visits can count towards my deductible.
United healthcare: I can show you how to add it to your medical record, but being autistic doesn’t mean that insurance is going to cover your therapy.
Me: yes, it does. It’s a disability and part of the treatment is therapy.
United healthcare: no I don’t think it is. I looked over your policy and I didn’t see anything about that.
Me: you should check with your manager.
United healthcare: (no apology) your policy does cover therapy if you have a clinical diagnosis. (Gives me instructions how to add the diagnosis to my chart).
Me: great, and I’d also like a list of autism focused Therapist in my area that are in network. Can you help me with that?
United healthcare: sure. I can help. In order to narrow down the options, why do you need therapy? What kind of support are you looking for?
Me: I’m autistic. I need help managing common autistic symptoms.
United healthcare: ok, but what kind of issues?
Me: (lists off 3 common autistic symptoms)
United healthcare: OK, I’ll give you a list of family and relationship focused therapists in your area.
Me: no, I need a therapist with experience working with autistic people.
United healthcare: they are all clinical and all of them have understanding of autism.
…
Then I receive a list of therapists and none have any direct experience working with autistic patients. (Note is smudged because I opened it at the mailbox and walked through the rain).
Worst part is that I can’t add my fucking clinical diagnosis because I did it as a part of a clinical research. That means my diagnosis has no codes or costs listed. United healthcare will NOT let me add the diagnosis BECAUSE i didn’t pay for it.
Edit: this is not a self diagnosis. United healthcare is not denying the diagnosis. They have no administrative way to add it to my medical chart unless I’m asking to be refunded for the money.
the only way I can add my clinical diagnosis to my medical chart is by making a claim to United healthcare. I cannot upload a claim to United healthcare that does not have a monetary cost associated with it. For that reason, their software will not let me upload the diagnosis.
I can meet with the original psychologist I met with who originally prescribed evaluation and ask her to upload it. I can meet with a therapist and ask them to upload it. Either way I’m looking at at least $500 cost. Can some of you agree with me that paying $500 to get someone to add information to a medical chart is a bit too far?
Quote from a natalism post:
“On paper, the system looks family-friendly: over a working life, parents pay about 73% of a childless person's net taxes, thanks to deductions and benefits. But that discount doesn't come close to covering the real cost. Pension and healthcare systems only work because new taxpayers keep showing up. Parents raise them mostly with their own money and their own labor, yet public pension funds then split future payouts equally, including with people who never contributed to raising anyone.”
Would like a fun hobby. I’m in Santa Fe and Albuquerque often so either area, but all I’m finding is kids programs. Suggestions?

Yes, I understand a foundation may need to be built and the lot will need utility access.
This is a comment about a recent news post where South Korea claimed a different number of nuclear weapons held by North Korea then America has quoted.
This is clearly a new update as it’s only happened for a few days or maybe weeks. This is the only app on my phone that has this problem. I’ll put my cursor in the box and I’ll double tap so the pop-up venue comes up and I can paste or copy whatever words I want.
And I’m just sitting here tap tap, tap tap tap tap tap tap tap . The menu doesn’t pop up. I open another app to tap and boom, the menu pulls up.
Whatever software update was done, please undo it . It’s incredibly annoying.
u/onetwoconnect made a recent post asking if they could bring things to the concert to give out to fans. It’s a genius idea.
And it made me think how fun it would be if everyone brought a sticker or keychain or something from their hometown to share with each other. And we would all walk away with these things from different places across the country/world.
What do you think?
It would be a reference to ‘Ain’t in LA’!!!
I like the the guy who got promoted. He’s empathic and efficient. But I’m so annoyed!
We had a ‘change of command’ meeting where the senior vice president had a speech about the job, the person being promoted, and the changes coming. The new director invited his kids and his wife to come, which is understandable. It’s a big event for him. But towards the end of the speech, the senior vice president started talking about the new directors wife. About how his wife create a safe home for him. About how she cares for the kids when he’s out of town. SVP talked about how the wife and the kids made it possible for the new director to be successful in his career. Then he gave the wife six months of spa stays for being so helpful with the kids while he’s traveling.
I cannot ever again listen to a parent talking about their career being held back by parenthood. That’s just not an honest statement. Every circumstance is different, and there are plenty of employers who give parents more benefit.
Parents prefer parents and give parents extra as a reward.
Edit:
upon reflection, I see this happened because the senior vice president was trying to make up for past mistakes.
New director had been a program manager at the company and was hired to take this director job after relocation. But when new director joined, plans changed in the company and he didn’t get the role he was promised. When the role opened up again instead of promoting him into it, they opened it for applications. They talked to an outside candidate for the role Months before they decided to open it. They offered the job to an outside candidate first, who rejected it.
So new director only got the job because he was the second choice. And I think the SVP realize he should’ve given the job to the new director in the first place. So SVP probably felt bad. Everyone in the office is delighted with the promotion. SVP struggles a lot with conflict and deals with a lot of guilt. So the SVP was trying to manage his personal guilt at not being a good leader and not giving new director what was promised, that he wanted to go above and beyond.
Since SVP is the one who shows prejudiced to non parents, he expressed his going above and beyond by focusing on family.
