Planned Surgery Without Obamacare

Planned Surgery Without Obamacare If youve followed my blog, you know I broke my ankle on the 2nd of January. I thought it was sprained so I put off having it checked for two full weeks.  My bad. I didnt want to go to an urgent care only to spend a couple hundred bucks to tell me it was sprained, and to just R.I.C.E.  So I just did R.I.C.E. at home, for free. But then, after two weeks, it was time. It wasnt getting better at all.  The pain and symptoms were too much, so I may have conceded to defeat, shed a tear or two, and got packed into the van to go to an urgent care. Im not here to give you any medical advice, but I want to share things Ive learned in this latest medical crisis.  I have found information very difficult to find, and I believe that no matter what your insurance is, its powerful to be informed. One of my biggest fears/annoyances is paying for a doctor only to have them refer you to someone else.  And thats exactly what happened. I went to the urgent care where they took xrays. The nurse who took care of me 80% of the time (the other 20% was a P.A.) said do you want to see the xrays?  Of course we (my wife was with me) did.  See that?  Thats obviously a break.  Ugh it didnt look very small  Lets go talk to the P.A. The P.A. basically said you have to talk to an orthopedic doctor.  We have one in our network That cost $119. 45 minutes later we were checking into another urgent care to meet with the ortho.  He basically said You have to have surgery.  If it were 2 millimeters separated I like to avoid surgery, but you are almost 10 millimeters.  I asked how much do you think this will set me back? He responded I dont know, but Im guessing between $7,000 and $12,000.  He gave us a few surgeon referrals to call. My goodness. Because we didnt have the first urgent care put a splint on (because they said we would just have to do xrays at the next place, and I thought theyd just do it there), they charged us an extra $80 to make a splint.  That was a bad choice on our part. That cost $119 for the ortho to get surgery and $80 to make a splint (that would have been included in the first urgent care trip). I spent a couple of days calling surgeon offices that was not fun at all.  But one office stood out, night and day, from the others.  The office staff sold me on using their surgeon, not because they were in sales mode, but because they were very nice (even after knowing I was self-pay, or pay in cash, before the service).  Learn more about those phone calls, and what I learned for job seekers, here. On that Tuesday I had made an appointment for the following Monday (which was the earliest they could get me in), and possibly surgery that afternoon, but then I got a call asking if I could come in on Thursday. I was elated to get in earlier. With the 20% self-pay discount, that appointment cost $200. The purpose of this post isnt to be a surgery-log I want to give you an idea of how I got to a surgeon I liked, and how much it cost.  So far we are up to about $520 just to get referred to the right person, and for him to say okay, Ill cut you. Aside from a splint, so far theres be no medical care (but hey, the xray and diagnostics is worth something). $520. In my experience, a surgery will generate at least three bills: the surgeon, the hospital (or surgery center), and the anesthesiologist.  What do you figure each of those cost? Four years ago I had emergency gall bladder surgery.  I went into the emergency room at 2:30 am and had surgery a few hours later.  No shopping around.  I was pretty much doped up from 3am until I came out of my anesthetics, with some big nurse over me telling me to BREATHE!! I wrote about the costs here can you believe that the surgeon, after his 50% off cash pay discount, cost only about $800?  The guy in charge, the guy calling the shots, the guy doing the cutting and repairing $800.  That seems awfully low to me, especially when the total cost of surgery and ER was over $20,000.  The surgeons  got less than 5% of the total payments. Well, heres how ankle repair surgery came out, for me.  Mind you, this was a pretty simple surgery, with two screws and no plates. Surgery center: $1,305 (after a 75% discount!!) Surgeons office: about $1,400 (I cant find the exact number, but it was after a 40% discount) Anesthesiologist: $600 (apparently this was only a discount of $40. Ive never gotten a good discount from the anesthesiologist) 90 days followup visits with the surgeon are included, although Ill have to pay for xrays and extras. And Ill have to have physical therapy, which Im hoping isnt more than $500.  Altogether, this misplaced kick-resulting-in-broken-ankle is costing a little less than $3,000. Not fun, but definitely better than the guess of $7,000 to $12,000. How might you get an expensive medical procedure for such a low (or reasonable, or affordable) cost? You shop around. Let them know you are self-pay and ask if they have a discount.  Dont argue, just ask. You arent negotiating, you are simply gathering information. Dont go to a hospital for a planned surgery (if you can help it).  Check out surgery centers in your area. This is a MUST READ regarding surgery centers. Now heres the interesting thing: After the first frustrating day of calling surgeons the doctor recommended, I called the surgery center and asked them who they work with, or recommend.  That was my short list for calling the second day. Im not saying that not having insurance is awesome.  Not at all.  But for those of you who cant get insurance, you need to know that not all hope is lost. Oh yeah, for those of you wanting to do the math assuming I paid $1,000 a month in insurance, with a $10,000 deductible, I still would have had to pay for this entire surgery out of pocket.  Just saying.

Passion + Perseverance Sashee Chandran, founder of Tea Drops, Shares Her Career Journey

Passion + Perseverance Sashee Chandran, founder of Tea Drops, Shares Her Career Journey Recently, I came upon a quote that says The things that you are passionate about are not random. They are your calling. Many people, including myself, have a hard time figuring out their calling, and even what they are truly passionate about. Truth of the matter is, with life moving so fast our interests can move from one thing to another just as quickly. So how do we find out what we truly are passionate about, and is success as easy as knowing what that  is? For Sashee Chandran, finding her passion and calling came to her by  looking into what naturally centered her, something that she grew up with and reminded her of her upbringing. Her career journey started from understanding this, but grew with perseverance and discipline. She founded the company Tea Drops, which  has not only given people a new way of enjoying their beloved tea time, it also helped her turn her passion into a business. Read our interview below!   All About  Tea Drops! What are Tea Drops?  Tea Drops are organic shaped teas that dissolve in your cup with boiling water (that’s right, no tea bag!). Comprised of all organic tea, spices, and lightly sweetened with raw sugar our Tea Drops are a blissful, sustainable, and unique tea blend that you can enjoy anytime, anywhere with just hot water. We DO NOT add any additives or artificial flavorings to our teas. Did we mention, how cute and fun the Tea Drops shapes are too?! What sparked the inspiration to make Tea Drops?  Tea has always been a part of my family’s culture and upbringing, so I grew a deep love for the ritual of tea from an early age. After college I held  many positions in corporate environments, I always noticed how difficult it was to enjoy a high cup of loose leaf tea at work. First, I would have to get out my tea pot and strainer, boil the water, add the loose leaf tea, steep it for a certain amount of time and I’d usually forget about the water after getting sidetracked with my work and end up over steeping my tea. I then tried premium tea bags, but I was never satisfied with the taste and would usually end up in a conference room without a means of disposing the tea bag easily. I felt there had to be an easier way to enjoy high quality tea! So for the next few years on my weekends and after work, I would mix tea and spices together to see if I could create and easy, all-encompassing loose leaf tea experience. After LOTS of tria l and error, I eventually ended up with what we now call Tea Drops. Do you have a personal mantra or motto you live by?  Yes, I do! Here are a few of them: “As you walk, the way appears.” â€" Rumi, Persian poet and Sufi master Fear is obviously a huge factor that can hold you back. I always love being reminded that I do not need to have all of the answers when I continue on my journey. I have to have faith that guidance will appear the more entrenched I become in my path/work. Nothing in the world will take the place of persistence. Talent will not. Genius will not. Education will not. Persistence and dedication alone are omnipotent. There is so much talent in the world, but I find there is one distinction that separates hobby artists from creative entrepreneurs and that is grit. Persistence is key. Especially when I feel intimidated, I always have to remember that. What particular advice would you give to someone who wants to start a business? Focus is paramount. I listened to a podcast earlier this year that stated that on a good day, business owners spend only about 23 minutes of their day on work that is actually important. That statistic was eye-opening for me!  The rest of our day is often spent tackling urgent, but non-important work or worse, irrelevant tasks. It is hard to do, but key that we map out and think  about how we spend our time each day. Time is one of the few commodities that cannot be replenished. Sashee Chandran reminds us all of a great lesson in pursuing success. Sure, passion can lead us to our calling, but success can only be attained by taking  the courage and discipline to follow it through. Check out Tea Drops at www.myteadrop.com!

Salary Negotiations for Job Seekers

Salary Negotiations for Job Seekers Money is usually the most sensitive issue in the hiring process. Discussing compensation often causes anxiety for both parties, but negotiating salary is an expected and normal part of the job search process. Confidence is important in negotiations.  You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Negotiate from a position of strength.”  Strength stems from confidence. Confidence increases through preparation (doing your homework), engaging the right decision-maker, having the right timing, and knowing what you want out of the negotiation.  One of the best things you can do to boost your confidence is to practice (role play) your salary negotiation with someone. Ideally, practice with someone who has negotiation experience. Even in a “bad” economy, it is worthwhile to negotiate your salary. In fact, in a 2012 survey conducted by Robert Half International, a global staffing firm, more than one-third of executives interviewed said they are more willing to negotiate salary with top candidates than they were a year ago. In a survey conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management, four out of five employers (80 percent!) said they are willing to negotiate compensation. What’s the worst that can happen? You may not get all that you’re asking for. You may only get some â€" but that’s more than you started with. It’s rare (extremely rare!) that a job offer would be rescinded simply because you ask for more money. Negotiating a higher starting offer initially can make a big difference in your pay over the long-term. In addition to getting more cash up front, your annual raises will also be based off a higher starting salary.Some steps to aid and strengthen your salary negotiations include: Research.  Make sure you know the average salary for your position, level of experience, and industry.  In addition to online salary sites, you can get information from your professional or trade association. Also research the prospective employer and its salary structure. Prepare Supporting Documentation.   This can include salary data from websites, previous performance evaluations, letters of recommendation, and job postings for similar positions. If you haven’t been keeping a “brag file,” now is the time to start. Identify what makes you different and/or “irreplaceable” from other candidates or employees. Be Attentive to Timing. Timing is critical in salary negotiations.  In negotiating an initial salary for a job, you (the job seeker) do not want to be the one to bring it up in an interview. Let the hiring manager be the first to discuss salary. Consider All Compensation.  Assess the full value of the entire compensation package â€" not just the annual salary.  Benefits can make a huge difference in your compensation package, so don’t overlook them!  Vacation time, stock options, and bonuses also add value. Non-cash benefits can add 30 to 40 percent to your total compensation package. Finally, remember that money may seem like the biggest factor in accepting a job, but it can often cloud your decision-making process.  Don’t accept a job that you’re not enthusiastic about simply because the starting salary is a few thousand dollars higher than what you’re currently making.  It’s probably more important to find a job that lets you do something you enjoy.  Ask yourself whether the position presents a career path with upward movement and long-range income potential.

6 Career Risks You Wont Regret Taking

6 Career Risks You Wont Regret Taking The following is a guest post by Linda Grimmeson.  Her bio follows. This is a new world. A new time. You are able, welcome and even encouraged to try new things and take risks. Employers are actually looking for people who have done more than their predecessors, who have a new set of skills, passions and interests. As this is the case, what is holding you back? Why do you still clock-in for a job that brings you no satisfaction? It’s time to do something about it. Let’s talk about some risks that you need to take in order to finally get where you want to be: Shed Off Fear Fear of failure is a huge deterrent to trying anything new. You can’t live that way. Period. In order to succeed in any facet of your life, you must have confidence in you. Never say “I can’t,” because, in all likelihood, you can. Jeff Haden, Ghostwriter and owner of BlackBird Media, is an entrepreneur, and knows a lot about taking risks. In a LinkedIn article, Haden says: “Pick something youd love to do but are scared to do. Dont try to get over your fear. Accept that you will be afraid. And then go do it anyway.” If you need a mantra to recite in the mornings, before work or even before making big decisions, we’ve got you covered: “I am strong. I am confident. I can overcome fear and I can achieve great things.” Take a Job Abroad Take a job abroad â€" why not? Immersing yourself in a different culture will change you. Your viewpoints will broaden, your international knowledge will expand and, even if the job you take pays less than a job within the confines of your comfort zone, it doesn’t matter, because the experiences that you will gain will prove themselves beyond valuable. Money Isn’t Everything Having money is nice, this is true. But being stuck in a job that you hate just so that you can get that monetary gain each month, is seriously, in the long run, not worth it. Liz Ryan, a contributer for Forbes.com said this: “As you evaluate competing job opportunities and consulting gigs in the 21st-century workplace, the question ‘Which job is more secure?’ cannot be the first question you ask yourself â€" or the second, or the tenth. No job is secure. Even if a job were secure, why would that make it the best job for you? The best job is the one where your muscles keep growing and your flame keeps growing, too.” Intern/Personal Research If your company offers training programs, take them, even if your colleagues aren’t; it’s their loss. Search out after-hours internships or even just tutorships with a company or person who specializes in and knows about a new idea or skill you would like to pursue. There are also a TON of resources available online for you to access and learn a new skill on your own, even. You can learn to code, for example, all online for free. Speak Up Speaking up during a department meeting can seem daunting, but if you feel, in your gut, that something needs to be changed in order for improvement to occur, then say something! If the idea is successful, then the risk paid off and you could get a promotion. If the idea isn’t successful, don’t back down and definitely don’t resolve to never make another comment again. Keep striving to improve your position by proving that you’re a leader. Go Back to School Leaving your job to go back to school may seem like the biggest risk of all. You will only expand your job opportunity pool by increasing your level of education, however. Returning back to school can cause financial strain, but if you’re a military spouse, we suggest choosing to attend a certified MyCAA school to take advantage of those discounts. You can also get an internship or student job on campus to help cover costs. Again, here are more opportunities for growth. Taking risks is risky, but the majority of the time, they will work in your favor. Cast off fear, doubt and guilt and just make it happen. Remember your mantra, “I am strong. I am confident. I can overcome fear and I can achieve great things.” Linda Gimmeson Linda Gimmeson is a Career Coach that is passionate about helping others identify their strengths and pursue their dreams.

Your guide to successfully navigating office politics

Your guide to successfully navigating office politics The workplace can be a highly political environment. Tensions can arise in a number of different situations, and are a natural byproduct of a group of people working in close quarters day in day out, but the allocation of scarce resources can exacerbate this. Whether its  money, positions, staff or power there are a number of things which can lead to  tension and conflict, especially between workers who are particularly ambitious. As junior members of a company, it might seem like you can avoid office politics, and at an early stage in our careers its not really necessary for us understand everything. While this is true to a certain extent, its also important to remain switched on so you dont get dragged into the politics of the office unawares. Its common for people to try and take the new grad under their wing and mould them into a mini version of themselves. However,   for the sake of our career development, it’s important you don’t succumb to this stereotype. Sure, having a mentor and aligning yourself with the right people is important and will help your progress further and quicker. But you dont want to get yourself involved in any unnecessary workplace drama thats going to hamper your career, so its important to equip yourself with the knowledge you need to get by successfully. Why does office politics arise? Hierarchy in the workplace means some people have more power and influence than others. Promotion is important to most people in an organisation, not just because it reflects career progression but also the associated rise in pay. This can create competition between individuals, especially if it’s made clear that not everyone can be promoted. In addition, people may start acting in their own personal interest and not in alignment the teams wider objectives. Decisions at work are both influenced by work related and personal factors, which can also cause issues. Organisations tend to have limited resources which foster competitive behaviour as everyone seeks to get their way. Different types of office politics How you navigate the politics in your workplace largely depends on the type of political organisation you work for. Kathleen Kelley Reardon, an expert in workplace politics, listed four in her Harvard Business Review article: Minimally political companies: In these organisations, what you see for the most part is what you get. Rules and procedures are made clear, are respected and tend to be followed. Your team feels like a mini family, and little knowledge of workplace politics won’t hold you back. Here, you can be yourself and go far. Moderately political organisations: Workplace politics in these firms are quite minimal, but when it does exist it’s very under the radar. Great effort is made for it not to surface because of the strong team mentality. Little pockets of political activity do exist but can be easily managed and not to the detriment of others. The highly political arena: Formal rules take a back seat and the influence of those in power come to the forefront. Cliques emerge and you see this divide between the in groups and out groups. Who you know becomes way more important than what you know. Pathologically political organisations: In organisations like this, nearly every goal is achieved by going around people or formal procedures and there is a great deal of mistrust amongst individuals. People end up spending far more time watching their backs than actually doing things to progress their career. Tips for navigating the political work environment Observe how things work, which means understanding the office culture and the history of the team you’re in. Who are the real influencers, the individuals with power they dont use? Who is the people champion, the one that encourages everyone? The real brains behind major decisions? Get to know the team dynamics, observe relationships within the team. Are there cliques and what are they based on? What do people within the “in group” have in common? Who doesn’t get along with whom and why? What is the basis for the forming of relationships? Friendship, mutual respect or manipulation? Be collaborative and build your network. Build relationships with people that have informal, as well as formal power (people with informal power tend to have friends in high places). Ensure that your network consists of people from all levels of the hierarchy, so not just junior like yourself. Don’t get personal We spend a large amount of time in the workplace and its normal for your professional exterior to slip occasionally. Your colleagues might do something by accident to anger you, and you might be tempted to vent your frustrations. However, always refrain from doing this. Those who witness your mini meltdown arent likely to forget anytime soon, and this can be detrimental to your career, especially when youre starting out. If you think you have a colleague who is acting seriously out of line, have a chat with your manager or the HR department. Don’t take sides In a corporate environment, it is common to see two powerful people at odds with each other, and you’ll see some team members align themselves with one of the two individuals. As a junior member in your team, you may feel obliged to as well, but actually I believe you shouldn’t. You should always try to remain neutral and if anyone tries to sway your opinion or ask what you think about a certain person, just explain that you’re focused on your work and trying to achieve the team’s goal and objectives.

How leaders can lead with the appropriate pace. - Wolfgang Career Executive Coaching

How leaders can lead with the appropriate pace. - Wolfgang Career Executive Coaching Organizations face many obstacles that affect and sometimes derail the leadership abilities of their teams. Things like human resource issues, limited budgets, lack of mission understanding or alignment, and much more lay the foundation of difficult leadership. However, there’s one area that often goes unnoticed. It’s called pace. Effective leaders are aware of the importance of pace when it comes to leading others. In this post, we’ll look at 3 specific ways in which pace affects an organization’s leadership ability. Speed Task The most obvious way that pace affects organizations is within its definition, speed. Be the first to market, good things take time, learn to fail fast, patience is a virtue, and time is money. These are just a few of the quotes we use to talk about speed when it comes to an organization. It’s important to note that when we talk about speed, the majority of time it’s in the context of completing a task, not developing leaders or organizations. Culture Context Every organization is different. That’s why the second way pace affects organizations is through culture and context. What we mean by culture and context is this: some organizations are built around action and some are built around methodicalness. For example, an iPhone manufacturer is built around action (creating iPhones) while a IT consultancy is built around methodically implementing iPhones into an organizations ecosystem. While both of these businesses may value similar things, their cultures and context are two different things. People Development Finally, pace is built around people, and this is the most important point. People are the reasons that organizations thrive, and for leaders who lose that perspective, it won’t matter which speed they are moving at. For people and development the key takeaway is this: leaders must understand the values of their current and future employees in relation to speed, and develop of their roles relevantly as they relate to both the organization and the individual. Whether it’s speed task, culture context, or people development, organizations must realize that pace affects the success of leading others. Although the above concepts are just icebreaker concepts into pace and leadership, they are a great beginning context for your organization to analyze. To take a deeper look at your organization’s speed, including a situational analysis regarding emotional agility and leadership development, let’s connect. -WCC Team By Wolfgang Career Coaching|2018-01-10T17:51:44+00:00January 10th, 2018|Career Change, Career Coaching, Career Counseling, Career Management|0 Comments

This way, it will be easier for the company to choose one of your more recent positions over the other candidates that will be having their resumes reviewed.Most people want to add some kind of personal touch to their resumes, but this can be something that is nearly impossible to do for anyone who has been out of the work force for a long time.
