I got an invoice from FedEx (looks like a genuine FedEx office logo letter) for less than $10 for what appears to be custom duty tax (import tax). I did order an international package.

The invoice mentions the content in the package which was wrong.

Weight of the package is wrong

Only thing correct is tracking number which is delivered on Jan 2026.

I got invoice on May 2026 about 5 months later.

Initially I ignored it assuming it was a scam. A month later I got the same letter again.

How do I know this is a genuine invoice?

Higher the asset, higher should be umbrella liability policy to protect the classes? So if someone has $50 million, should he have higher umbrella liability policy than someone with $25 million asset? Is there a rule of thumb how much should be the maximum limit of umbrella liability policy?

I went to one endodontist. He performed dental CT scan plus his explanation. No charge since he was in the network of my dental insurance. All paid by my insurance. He gave me a long list of procedures totaling $5000! Said none of the procedure was covered by my insurance. (Same insurance which covered the initial examination)

I sought second opinion of another endodontist. Had ct scan again plus his explanation. He was also in the same dental network. But his office charged me $180 as according them the insurance did not cover initial consultation. (I was shown a long sheet with all charges and amount covered for each services). I was convinced the insurance indeed did not cover the fee although I felt strange that it was covered for the first endodontist.

I did not mention them that this was my 2nd opinion visit. I just paid them.

I was given long list of procedures. I decided to go ahead and do one of the procedure. I was charged $800 as the procedure was not covered by the insurance, so I was told!

Then I got explanation of the benefit from the insurance! They did cover the procedure and I owed $280. Procedure allowable amount was $700. Insurance paid to doctor $420 (60% of allowable amount),

So the doctor got $800 from me plus $420 from insurance. They should have got a total of $700!

I called doctor office and wanted to talk about my account. Surprisingly the lady at the other end already knew who I was (based upon my phone I guess) and why I called. She knew I must have got EOB which shows the procedure was covered by my insurance. Said they have not received the payment yet from the insurance. She started giving me run around to refund the overpaid amount. I felt like she has been doing this kind of talk many times before to other patients as well. Now I wonder who doctor should I trust??

My Sinus CT scan says I have odontogenic disease. So dental disease causing sinus? Or chronic sinus causing this dental disease? Which should I address first? Treat sinus (ENT might recommend surgery again that I already had one!) or fix dental issue (remove the tooth causing the disease).

Anyone with similar issue?

I have chronic sinusitis. Recent CT Scan showed that I have Odontogenic desease due to sinusitis. My ENT doctor put me on 10 day antibiotic. I may have to go to my dentist for dental treatment. Will this dental treatment be covered by my medical insurance (BCBS) since this is sinus created issue?

Has anyone an experience with similar situation?

Dumbest thing I did this year was that I did not enroll in dental insurance. All I was getting was free dental cleaning twice a year for a premium of about $1000 per year. So I dropped. Only time I can reenroll is in coming January (I had federal employee benefit)
