small victories
Jan. 23rd, 2021 09:09 pmToday I got a whole bunch of paper mail, including:
1. A very belated holiday card/end-of-year letter from my Aunt Jan
2. A belated holiday card/end-of-year letter from my cousin Brian and family
3. My January 2021 health insurance bill, which according to Excellus was mailed on December 29.
4. My February 2021 health insurance bill. Which arrived on the same day as the January bill. I am sure you can see the problem here.
5. My 1095-A form so I can reconcile my advance premium tax credit for my January-June 2020 health insurance plan.
6. An issue of Philatelic, the stamp collecting magazine of the USPS, because apparently buying a bunch of stamps via their website somehow got me a subscription???
7. The Nature Conservancy asking for money, which, you get one donation a year, stop being pushy at me.
8. Local advertising junk mail, blargh.
...
Anyway, I logged back into my Excellus account and discovered that they've changed up the back end of their website so I had to reenter all my payment information, BUT they have also hooked my new health insurance plan to my account so I was able to make an online payment for my February coverage. I have also ordered physical health insurance cards, because apparently you can't display an image of your hypothetical card until you order a physical card and they scan the printed copy or something, which strikes me as both backwards and unhelpful.
So by the time of my rescheduled annual physical on February 11, I will almost definitely have my new insurance information to turn in to my doctors office. \o/
I should probably also go fix my most recent prescription refill at Tops, since I only realized after I put in my refill request on Monday that I didn't have my insurance information. Fortunately the pharmacist was awesome and used a store loyalty discount thing to bring the price down from like $240 to $10, but still. We should make Excellus eat the cost, not Tops. What else am I paying them for, after all? *wry*

In other, work-related news, today I signed in some returned keys, wrote and sent out a lease, responded to a bunch of apartment inquiries, mailed a letter, fielded some deeply weird phone calls, handed out a set of keys, fixed up a bunch of floor plans to eventually put on the website, explained the ESA application process to a tenant, and adjusted several hundred lease start dates to both allow more standardized turnover periods and make sure we don't have any leases starting on Sundays. (It is hard to hand out keys when the office is closed, you know?)
