It’s open enrollment time for me! I currently go to Shaarp and thinking to potentially switch to Kaiser. I have no complaints against Shaarp thus far. I’m fairly healthy but occasionally have to see a doc as I have a weaker immune system. Maybe 5x a year max including regular check up. Mental health services and getting an appt quickly are key to me. I would like to hear some pros and cons first kaiser if anyone can share their experiences!

🌟 PROS | I love Kaiser, I love their app. And I can request a virtual appointment anytime. They can ship my meds or pick them up. It’s really easy for me to get care so I love that.

❌ CONS | Last time I got a Pap smear they sent me to the lab and I had to go in the bathroom and swab myself…. They are really dialing down the labor I guess. Kinda weird to me. I’ve NEVER had to do that. But it was fine I guess lol

I love Kaiser. It’s often more expensive upfront by cost per paycheck but actual care is affordable. Unexpected medical emergencies are so affordable the overall cost is less than another plan. For instance, surgery cost $15 all in.

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?

If so, wouldn’t it benefit me to understate non-charge hours so my utilization is higher since they only really care about chargeable time anyways? Charge 40 hours still but only put 5 hours non-charge for utilization to be 89% instead of 80%? Or am I misunderstanding how utilization works?

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city.

I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
