Ipeeinthepools Posted August 7, 2021 #151 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Everyone has me nervous about my PCR test coming back on time. Maybe I'll need to schedule a back-up in Fort Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we're retired and hope to be travelling more I'm going to looking in annual travel insurance. Is that what Kaiser is? I’m not Jim, but I can answer your question. Kaiser is medical insurance, not travel insurance.

But they're definitely not travel insurance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is headquarted in Oakland, California and has 300,000 employees and 12.5 Million members. It has hospitals and facilities in California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Oregon, Virginia and Washington. They were started in 1945 and I love them. Pretty much one stop and everything is taken care of. No need to file claims or worry about in network or out of network additional charges.

I think you must have meant to reply to someone else, because I had just said Kaiser was not travel insurance😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cangelmd Posted August 8, 2021 Author #160 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Don’t know if this has been reported elsewhere - Equinox had one reported positive Covid case, we were informed about 8 pm last night, a second announcement this am, all contacts negative, only one case confirmed. Out of 1200 passengers, that’s about right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I mean is, they aren't canceling an entire cruise because of one person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big issue since it was the last night. Protocols seemed to have worked 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Kaiser only available in a handful of States I'm sure many others also learned from your question. Like many other HMO's I get my Medicare through their Senior Advantage Policy.
