I wanted to a Do not do this flair because I'm dumb but I have an explanation. My phone started swelling around the same time my grandmother was passing away(this is important) so I took it to the apple store where they told me to charge it and back everything up but gave me no advice further than that other than if I wait too long it could destroy the hard drive. I did exactly that but then it didn't transfer everything specifically some important files and voicemails my grandma left. I panicked, removed the swollen battery to protect the phone and when I took the battery to apple they wouldn't take it. My local hazardous waste is only open Fridays and Saturdays for a few hours! So I'm just sitting on this spicy pillow and pissed at apple for being shitty. Is it a bad idea to remove the hard drive and try and put the swollen battery back and take the phone to apple for recycling? I hate apple and will never buy another product because of this experience.

This is bluecross/blueshield california (ppo bronze plan for the last three years) I met my deductible before the date on the eob but there are contradicting eob’s. For example my deductible was met july 2024 but in august 2024 it shows i paid about 400 towards my deductible again. Now Im getting a statement from the hospital for around $800, even though my deductible was met and somehow not met in a timeframe that makes no sense. I also had an hsa account in that time that might have a little left can I use that towards it.
