r/pinellas

don’t need the lecture just asking genuine advice, got a dui over a year ago, I’m on probation now, I was in a panic and running behind and helping my neighbors with there dog and drove in my neighborhood on a suspended license. Accidentally went 5 over in a school zone completely forgetting school had started. He let me go with a warning as long as I left the car and someone else picked it up and I walked home. Do I need to report this to my PO?

whats up with the heavy traffic every weeknight coming from oldsmar into palm harbor??? like where are yall going cuz like everything is closed damn near closed....it isnt a night club district...im so confused 😭 what am i missing cuz yall be driving wayyyy to fast too....i about die each night with people drivng so fast up on my a** ....i go to the boot ranch target a lot at night and head back to dunedin that way....like i cant think of any reason for THAT many people to be on that road heading west at that time of night...i just moved back from hillsborough county after living there since 2010....what did i miss cuz i am already making plans to move back...yes its wild on that side too but pinellas has gotten so weird 😭😭😭

I’m going insane over this. After months of going in circles, I’ve decided enough is enough and I’m sharing my experience because there’s a chance someone else is dealing with the same thing , or maybe someone here knows what I can actually do about it.
I had 2 ultrasounds at BayCare imaging facilities in Florida — one at BayCare Outpatient Imaging at Bardmoor and one at Carlisle Imaging Center.
I have Cigna insurance and both facilities are in-network.
I ended up with $900+ in bills for the two ultrasounds. According to my benefits, I expected these to be a copay, not something applied to my deductible.
I appealed with Cigna twice. Denied.
Then I talked to another Cigna rep who actually looked into the claim and told me basically: this was processed as a professional service, but because the ultrasound was done at the facility, it should have been processed under the facility benefit. BayCare needs to correct/resubmit the claim.
So I contacted BayCare.
BayCare escalated it, told me they would reprocess/resubmit the claims to Cigna, AND put my account on hold so it wouldn’t go to collections.
Great, right?
Nope. 🙃
After months of going back and forth, BayCare is now telling me “we billed it correctly, this is Cigna’s problem” and sending me back to Cigna.
Meanwhile Cigna is basically saying “BayCare needs to correct the claim.”
So I’m stuck in the middle while $900+ is sitting there as my responsibility.
And I have documentation of similar services that were processed correctly with just a copay.
I have screenshots of my benefits, the Cigna rep conversation, Cigna’s appeal decisions, BayCare bills, and the communications where BayCare originally said they would reprocess everything.
At this point I’m looking at filing an AHCA complaint against BayCare because I’m honestly out of options.
Has anyone dealt with something like this with BayCare/Cigna? Or know who I should escalate this to? Any corporate email? Is very hard to get a hold of anyone there even supervisors.
Basically: who can actually force these two companies to sit down, look at the same claims, and figure out who screwed up? 😭

Hi everybody!

I’ve been working on something new called TechReach and wanted to get some honest feedback from people.
The idea is a mobile phone and laptop repair service where I come to you instead of you having to drive to a repair shop and wait around. I’d handle things like screen replacements, batteries, laptop repairs, diagnostics, and other common device issues on-site whenever possible.

I’m still building the business and figuring out what people would actually find most useful, so I’m curious — is this something you’d use or recommend to someone?

Any feedback would really help.

I own a small business where I consult with families on how to plan for aging. Typically, I’d assess their situation and help plug in resources to help them remain at home or if the home was not safe for them, assist them to secure alternative senior housing.

I’m debating joining a couple of chambers of commerce (St. Pete and/or the Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber).

I’m not confident the ROI is there given the annual costs of both. My goal would be to drive referrals by networking.

I’m looking for experienced thoughts on this.
